EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Goes Ahead" and dated 1908, is a powerful and poignant image captured by renowned American ethnographer and photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis. Goes Ahead, whose real name was Pretty Shield, was a prominent member of the Apsáalooke (Crow) Nation from Montana, United States. In this head-and-shoulders portrait, Goes Ahead is depicted seated, dressed in civilian clothing, with an Indian Judge badge proudly displayed on his chest. The serious expression on his face and his direct gaze towards the camera add an air of authority and dignity to the image. The photograph is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Plains Indians during the early 20th century. Curtis, who was dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditions and customs of Native American tribes, captured this image as part of his extensive ethnographic work. The gelatin silver print, which is now held in the Library of Congress, provides a glimpse into the history and identity of the Crow people during a time of significant change in North America. The clothing worn by Goes Ahead reflects the fusion of traditional Indian and Western styles that was common among Native Americans during this period. The Indian Judge badge, which symbolizes his role as a community leader and intermediary between his people and the dominant European-American society, adds an intriguing layer of complexity to the image. Overall, "Goes Ahead" is a powerful and evocative portrait that captures the resilience and adaptability of the Native American people in the face of cultural change.
