EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Jack Red Cloud, c1907," is a full-length portrait of an Oglala man, taken by renowned American anthropologist Edward Sheriff Curtis. The image showcases Jack Red Cloud, also known as Jackson Red Cloud, in traditional Plains Indian attire. He is dressed in a fringed dress, adorned with intricate embroidery and beadwork, and wears a grand feather headdress. The man's posture is confident and proud, with his hands clasped in front of him. Edward Sheriff Curtis, a pioneering figure in ethnography and ethnology, captured this image during the early 1900s, a time when the traditional ways of life for Native American communities were rapidly changing. Curtis' work aimed to document and preserve the heritage of Native American cultures, making this photograph an important historical record. The clothing worn by Jack Red Cloud is a testament to the rich and intricate craftsmanship of Plains Indian fashion. The dress, with its fringes and embroidery, is a stunning example of the needlework skills that were passed down through generations. The feather headdress, a symbol of power and status, adds to the grandeur of the portrait. This photograph, now held in the Library of Congress, is a valuable resource for scholars, anthropologists, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Native American peoples. It offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the lives and traditions of the Oglala people and the Plains Indians more broadly.
