EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "The Scouts," was created by renowned American ethnographer and photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis in 1908. The image showcases an impressive group of five Crow Indians, proudly dressed in their traditional regalia, gathered on a hillside. The Crow Indians, also known as the Absaroka or Apsaroke, are a Native American tribe originally from the Great Plains region of Montana. In this photograph, we see five distinguished members of the tribe: Fish Shows (wearing a headdress), Lone Tree, Child in the Mouth, Medicine Crow, and Sitting Elk. Each man is depicted in full regalia, adorned with intricate feather headdresses and colorful clothing, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of the Crow people. Horses play a significant role in the Crow way of life, and the men are shown mounted on their horses, adding to the sense of power and tradition in the image. The group portrait is a testament to the enduring connection between the Crow people and their land, as well as their deep-rooted customs and traditions. Edward Sheriff Curtis captured this moment in time with exceptional skill, using a gelatin silver print process to create an image of remarkable clarity and detail. The photograph is a valuable historical record of the Crow people and their way of life during the early 20th century.
