High Hawk – 1907
Here we have a picture of High Hawk, a popular member of the Brulé tribe – one of the seven branches of the Teton Lakota American Indian tribe. Studies have shown that the Brulé tribe had an interesting history as they were formed while fleeing through a grass fire in search of safety and a different life. The name Brulé means “burnt,” so there might be lots of truth to their origin story. This picture was taken by a popular photographer at the time, Edward S. Curtis.
