EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Tearing Lodge and Wife(?)", was captured by renowned American ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis around 1910. The image features a Piegan man and woman, believed to be a husband and wife, in three-quarter length portrait, facing the camera with an air of quiet dignity. The man, dressed in traditional Blackfoot attire, wears a feathered headdress and a braided shirt, adorned with intricate beadwork. His hair is also braided and adorned with feathers. The woman, equally resplendent, dons a colourful dress with fringes, her hair styled in long, flowing braids. Both subjects gaze directly into the camera, their expressions hinting at a deep connection and a rich cultural heritage. The backdrop is undisturbed by modernity, adding to the sense of timelessness. This photograph, a precious piece of anthropological and historical record, is now housed in the Library of Congress, a testament to the enduring legacy of the Blackfoot Confederacy and the indigenous peoples of the American West.
