EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the stoic and proud gaze of Lean Wolf, Chief of the Gros Ventres, a Native American tribe from the Great Plains region of North America, during the early 20th century. The Gros Ventres, also known as the "People of the Plains," were a semi-nomadic people who traditionally lived in teepees and hunted bison for food and clothing. Lean Wolf, whose Native name was Qui-gul-la-bah, was born around 1850 and served as the chief of his people during a time of significant change and hardship. The late 19th and early 20th centuries saw the forced relocation of many Native American tribes from their ancestral lands, including the Gros Ventres, who were moved to reservations in Montana and Canada. Despite these challenges, Lean Wolf remained a strong and influential leader, working to preserve his people's traditions and culture in the face of encroaching European-American settlers and the U.S. government. He was known for his wisdom, courage, and diplomacy, and was respected by both his own people and neighboring tribes. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, offers a rare glimpse into the life of a Native American chief during a pivotal time in American history. The image captures the dignity and resilience of Lean Wolf and the Gros Ventres, whose stories and traditions continue to be an important part of the larger narrative of Native American history and culture.
