EDITORS COMMENTS
Sitting Eagle, c1905: A Head-and-Shoulders Portrait of a Crow Man by Edward Sheriff Curtis This powerful head-and-shoulders portrait captures the intense gaze and quiet dignity of a Crow man named Sitting Eagle, photographed by Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1905. The image is a poignant representation of the rich cultural heritage of the Apsáalooke, or Crow people, who inhabited the Plains region of Montana, United States, during the early 20th century. Curtis, an influential American anthropologist, photographer, and ethnographer, dedicated his career to documenting the lives and traditions of Native American tribes across North America. In this photograph, he masterfully captures the essence of Sitting Eagle's identity, showcasing his intricately adorned headdress, made of feathers, fur, and beads, as well as his traditional clothing, which includes a colorful dress and moccasins. The portrait offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the history and culture of the Crow people during a time when their way of life was rapidly changing due to the encroachment of European-American settlers. This image is a testament to the resilience and enduring spirit of the indigenous peoples of North America and serves as an important reminder of the value of preserving cultural heritage. The Library of Congress in Washington D.C. holds this photograph as part of its extensive collection of historical images, making it accessible for scholars, researchers, and the public to explore and learn from the rich and diverse history of the United States and its people.
