EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by Edward S. Curtis in 1926, showcases the members of the Southern Cheyenne Hotamitaye Society on the vast plains of Oklahoma. The image captures a momentous occasion as they return from gathering poles to construct a Sun Dance lodge, an essential part of their cultural tradition. Intricately adorned with willow branches, both the men and their horses are beautifully decorated for this significant ceremony. Their hats proudly sit atop their heads as they ride through the grasslands of the Great Plains, creating a striking contrast against the expansive landscape. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this photograph - from each leaf carefully attached to their attire to the wreaths adorning their horses' manes. It serves as a testament to not only their craftsmanship but also their deep connection with nature and reverence for ancestral practices. Edward S. Curtis masterfully captures this snapshot of daily life within Native American culture during that era. Through his lens, we gain insight into an early 20th-century Southwestern society that held steadfastly onto its traditions amidst changing times. This print from Granger Art on Demand offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate and celebrate these rich cultural heritage moments frozen in time forevermore.
