Indian in Prayer

You are looking at an intriguing picture of Slow Bull, a Dakota Sioux Medicine Man. It was taken in 1907 by Edward S. Curtis.

The picture presents the Medicine Man standing outside his tipi gazing upward, apparently in Prayer.

We have created this collection of pictures primarily to serve as an easy to access educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
