EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the powerful and enigmatic presence of Chief Rain in the Face (1835-1905) of the Hunkpapa Lakota tribe, also known as the Sioux or Dakota people. Taken by renowned American photographer David Frances Barry in 1880, this image offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Native American leader during a time of significant cultural and historical transformation. Chief Rain in the Face wears the traditional regalia of his people, with a single feather proudly affixed to his head, his long braids wrapped in fur, and a large medallion necklace or peace medal around his neck. The intricate beadwork on his clothing and the serious expression on his face convey a sense of dignity and resilience in the face of adversity. The year 1880 marked a pivotal moment in the history of the American West, as the United States government continued to encroach upon Native American lands through treaties and military force. The photograph of Chief Rain in the Face serves as a poignant reminder of the indomitable spirit of the Hunkpapa Lakota people and their unwavering commitment to preserving their culture and traditions. David Frances Barry (1822-1905) was an accomplished photographer who documented the lives of Native Americans, as well as the landscapes and people of the American West. His work is an invaluable contribution to the historical record of this period, providing a visual window into the lives of the people who inhabited the land before European settlement. This photograph of Chief Rain in the Face is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Hunkpapa Lakota people and the enduring legacy of David Frances Barry's photographic work.
