EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing photograph captured by Edward S. Curtis in 1926, we are transported to the early days of America's Midwest, where an Assiniboin man engages in a profound act of spiritual connection. The image depicts a solemn moment as the man placates the spirit of a slain eagle, honoring its life and seeking harmony between humanity and nature. Clothed in traditional attire adorned with fur and feathers, the Assiniboin man sits serenely on the ground, cradling the majestic wingspan of the deceased eagle. His braided hair cascades down his back while he holds onto a rattle and necklace symbolizing his deep-rooted cultural heritage. Every detail within this portrait speaks volumes about Native American customs and beliefs.
