EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the powerful presence of Big Foot, Chieftain of the Hunkpapa Sioux. The colour litho beautifully portrays this iconic Native American leader from the 19th century. Standing tall and regal, Big Foot exudes strength and wisdom as he gazes into the distance. The image holds a significant historical context as it reminds us of the tragic events that unfolded at Wounded Knee. It was here that Big Foot met his untimely demise after leaving the Cheyenne River reservation. His courageous spirit lives on through this poignant depiction. The Stapleton Collection has preserved this remarkable piece of art, allowing us to appreciate and honor Native American heritage.

This photograph is not just a mere representation; it serves as a reminder of our responsibility to acknowledge and respect indigenous cultures.

Let this image serve as an invitation for dialogue about Native American history and their contributions to society.
