Invocation — Sioux. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Genre: Portrait Photography
Full-length outdoor portrait of a Sioux man making an invocation, with one arm upraised, at a boulder shrine: 'Scattered throughout the Indian country are found spots that are virtually shrines. These are often bowlders [sic] or other rocks which through some chance have been invested with mythic significance, and to them priest and war-leaders repair to invoke the aid of the supernatural powers. The half-buried bowlder [sic] on which the suppliant stands is accredited with the power of revealing to the warrior the foreordained result of his projected raid. Its surface bears what the Indians call the imprint of human feet, and it is owing to this peculiarity that it became a shrine. About it the soil is almost completely worn away by the feet of many generations of suppliants who have journeyed hither for divine revelations.'
