EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a Hidatsa mother from the early 1900s, as she gazes directly at the camera while carrying her young son on her back. The mother, dressed in traditional Hidatsa apparel, wears a fringed dress adorned with intricate patterns, and a shawl draped over her shoulders. The child, also dressed in traditional clothing, clings to his mother's neck, his curious expression mirroring the intensity of his mother's gaze. This image, taken by renowned ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1908, offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the Hidatsa people during a time of significant cultural change. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of family and the passing down of cultural traditions from one generation to the next. The Hidatsa, also known as the Minatarree or Gros Ventres, are a First Nation people originally from the Great Plains of North America. This photograph is an invaluable contribution to the ethnographic record and a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Hidatsa people.
