EDITORS COMMENTS
Oyegi-a ye, also known as Governor or Chief Frost Moving, is depicted in this striking black and white portrait captured by renowned photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905. The Santa Clara Pueblo governor wears a traditional headdress adorned with feathers and a single horn, signifying his position and heritage. The image captures the essence of the Native American leader, with his intense gaze and proud posture. The portrait was taken during the early 20th century, a time when the United States was undergoing significant changes, and the indigenous population was facing numerous challenges. Despite these adversities, Native Americans continued to preserve their rich cultural heritage, and leaders like Oyegi-a ye played a crucial role in maintaining traditions and representing their communities. The portrait is a testament to the resilience and strength of the Native American people, who have endured centuries of colonization and oppression. The image is a reminder of the importance of preserving the history and heritage of indigenous communities, and the role that photography can play in documenting and sharing these stories. This portrait is a valuable addition to the vast collection of Native American images at the Library of Congress, providing a glimpse into the past and offering insights into the lives and traditions of the indigenous peoples of North America.
