EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the powerful presence of Chief Rushing War Eagle, also known as Charging Eagle and Bad Gun, a prominent leader of the Mandan, Sioux, and Dakota tribes in the late 19th century. Born to the respected chiefs Four Bears and Brown Woman, Rushing War Eagle is depicted here in his full traditional regalia, embodying the strength and pride of his people. His headdress, crafted from the horns of a buffalo, is a symbol of his warrior status and connection to the land. In his hand, he holds a long calumet, or peace pipe, a sacred object used in ceremonies to establish peace and unity among tribes. Taken by renowned photographer David Frances Barry in 1880, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of the Plains Indians during a time of significant change and upheaval. Rushing War Eagle's unwavering gaze and steadfast posture serve as a reminder of the resilience and determination of Native American communities in the face of adversity.
