Digging Feather Gazes Lived Sacred Sees Tepees Trapped Turnip Black Feet Myth
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1914 depicts a scene straight out of Native Indian mythology. The Feather-woman, with her intricate headdress and piercing gaze, is seen gazing down from Sky Country where she is trapped for daring to dig up the sacred turnip. In the distance, she can see the camp of the Blackfeet tribe where she had once lived.
The image captures a moment of tension and longing as Feather-woman looks upon her former home with a mix of nostalgia and regret. The tepees of the Blackfeet camp stand tall against the vast American landscape, reminding her of the life she left behind.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated, as it offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and beliefs of Native Indian tribes. The story of Feather-woman serves as a cautionary tale about respecting sacred traditions and honoring one's roots.
As we gaze upon this striking photograph, we are reminded of the power and beauty found in Native American myths and legends. It is a testament to their enduring legacy that continues to inspire us today.
