- Title:

A flathead chief. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Head-and-shoulders full-face portrait of a Flathead chief, wearing a whistle around his neck and holding a war-club. 'Through the medium of their annual incursions into the buffalo plains east of the Rocky mountains, the Flatheads adopted much of the plains culture. Not only their domicile (the tipi), their garments, weapons, and articles of adornment, came from this source, but many of their dances were in imitation of similar ceremonies practised by the prairie tribes. Prominent features of the accoutrement of this Flathead chief are his war-club of the plains type, and an eagle-bone whistle, such as was used in the Sun Dance. The Flatheads however never acquired the sun rite.'
