EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history - the bison dance performed by warriors of the Mandans Indians on the left bank of Missouri. The engraving, created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, is part of G. Catlin's work to illustrate his excursion among the Indian tribes of Colombia and Upper Missouri. In this image, we witness a sacred ritual that holds deep cultural significance for the Mandans people. The dancers, adorned in traditional attire, move with grace and precision as they embody their connection to nature and pay homage to the mighty bison. The composition beautifully showcases both the physicality and spirituality of this ancient dance. The intensity on each warrior's face reflects their commitment to preserving their heritage amidst changing times. Published in "le tour du monde" under D Edouard Charton's direction in 1869, this engraving serves as a valuable historical document that sheds light on Native American traditions during a crucial period of exploration and colonization. Through Leonard de Selva's lens, we are transported back in time to witness this mesmerizing display firsthand. This print not only celebrates indigenous culture but also reminds us of our shared human experiences across different civilizations throughout history.
