EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph, titled "Tattooed Savages C1890: Two Tattooed Native American Indians on the Warpath," offers a glimpse into the rich and complex history of Native American body art and war customs during the late 19th century. The image captures two Native American men, adorned with intricate neck laces and various tattoos, preparing for battle on the warpath. The neck laces, made of porcupine quills and other natural materials, were a symbol of status and power among many Native American tribes. Tattoos, too, held deep cultural significance and served as markers of tribal affiliation, personal achievements, and spiritual beliefs. The men in this photograph are believed to be from the Plains region of North America, where the practice of tattooing and wearing neck laces was common among various tribes, including the Cheyenne, Arapaho, and Comanche. The tooth ornaments in their mouths may have been used as weapons or for ceremonial purposes. Despite the ominous title and the ominous appearance of the men in the photograph, it is important to remember that this image is a snapshot in time and does not represent the entirety of Native American history or culture. The use of the term "savages" is a product of the biased and colonialist language of the time and does not reflect the complex and dynamic nature of Native American societies. This photograph is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the rich cultural traditions of Native American peoples and the complex history of contact between European settlers and Indigenous communities in North America. It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving and honoring the diverse histories and cultures of Indigenous peoples, both in the United States and around the world.
