Beautiful Lieutenant Loft Natives Squad
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in history as Native American soldiers, proudly donning their new uniforms, gather in a loft during World War I. Dated 1917, the image is a poignant reminder of the significant contribution made by indigenous peoples to the United States military during this global conflict. Among the soldiers in the squad is Lieutenant Onondeyoh, a member of the Seneca Nation. His strong, determined expression reflects the courage and resilience of the Native American soldiers who answered the call to defend their country. The beautiful mountainous backdrop serves as a stark contrast to the harsh realities of the battlefield, offering a brief moment of tranquility before these brave men were sent off to fight. The First World War marked a turning point in the history of Native American involvement in the US military. Thousands of Native soldiers from various tribes enlisted, eager to prove their loyalty and patriotism. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice, they served with distinction, earning recognition and respect from their fellow soldiers and the American public. This powerful photograph is a testament to the sacrifices made by these Native American soldiers during WWI. It serves as a reminder of their important role in American history and the significant impact they had on shaping the future of their communities and the nation as a whole.
