Additional Information
Photographed circa 1907 by Edward S. Curtis, this powerful image titled Planning a Raid depicts a party of Oglala Lakota gathered on a hilltop overlooking the valley of Wounded Knee Creek on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota. The mounted figures command the vast landscape below.
The Oglala are one of the seven bands of the Lakota nation, whose ancestral territory stretched across the northern Great Plains from the Missouri River to the sacred Black Hills. Renowned as skilled horsemen and strategists, they followed the great bison herds that sustained their communities for centuries.
Curtis published this photograph as plate 98 in the third volume of The North American Indian, his monumental twenty-volume survey produced between 1907 and 1930. The volume documents the Teton Sioux, Yanktonai, and Assiniboin, preserving their traditions during a period of sweeping transformation across the Plains.
This evocative photograph stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of the Oglala Lakota, offering a window into their deep connection with the boundless Dakota landscape. It is an extraordinary addition to any collection of Plains Indian heritage, early twentieth-century photography, and the landmark achievements of Edward Curtis.
