This black-and-white photograph depicts several individuals identified as Atsina warriors, a term used to describe members of the Blackfoot Confederacy or their descendants. The image appears to be from around 1908 and is part of a collection by Edward S. Curtis, an American photographer known for his documentation of Native American cultures in North America.
In this scene, six individuals are mounted on horseback in what seems to be an open field with sparse vegetation. Each warrior holds various objects: some have feathered staffs or lances held upright at their sides, while others carry bows and quivers loaded with arrows. Their attire includes traditional garments such as robes and head coverings made from animal hides adorned with intricate designs.
The warriors' postures are varied but generally convey a sense of readiness and camaraderie. The composition captures the essence of their culture's warrior ethos and social structure, offering a glimpse into an era that has since passed for these people due to numerous historical events such as forced relocations, cultural assimilation policies during colonialism in North America, which led many Indigenous populations including Blackfeet to experience dramatic changes both culturally and materially.

The image depicts two individuals on horseback, dressed in traditional Native American attire with elements such as feathered headdresses and robes. One of them is holding a staff topped with what appears to be feathers or a similar material, while the other has their hand resting on a weapon-like object, possibly a coup stick used by certain Native tribes for battle or hunting rituals. They are standing in an open field under a clear sky, which suggests this photo was taken during daylight hours. The overall composition conveys a sense of cultural heritage and traditional practices associated with these individuals' community.

The image shows several individuals riding horses across an open landscape, indicative of a historical context. They appear to be Native American riders adorned with cultural attire such as feathered headdresses and clothing that suggests ceremonial or tribal significance. The overcast sky and the terrain suggest they are in a plains-like environment, possibly during migration or travel for another purpose linked to their culture. Each horse is equipped with various accessories like reins and bridles, enhancing the historical depiction of Native American equestrian tradition.

The individuals leading the group carry tall feathers attached on staffs, which were commonly used as symbols of status within indigenous tribes in North America. The image captures a moment that resonates with history and possibly symbolizes their journey or participation in tribal activities such as warfare, ceremonies, or social gatherings during early 20th-century Western territories.

The photograph carries an air of authenticity, capturing what appears to be genuine historical events rather than staged representations. This type of documentation is vital for understanding the cultural nuances and everyday life of Native American tribes before European colonization significantly impacted their way of living.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an urban scene that appears to be part of a protest or demonstration. Several individuals are gathered, with some holding what seem to be wooden shields in front of their bodies as if prepared for confrontation. The expressions on the faces of these people suggest they may be shouting or chanting.

In the background, there is signage indicating "BURKES" and other indistinct words that could belong to a nearby establishment like a hotel. Trash and debris are scattered across the ground, hinting at recent unrest in the area. One person appears dressed as security personnel with a helmet, suggesting law enforcement or private security presence.

The photo has an overall gritty quality, capturing moments of tension between protestors and authorities during what seems to be the anti-Springbok tour demonstration. This event was part of larger protests against South Africa's apartheid regime at the time of its rugby tour in 1971 amidst widespread international condemnation.

The image is a black and white photograph featuring an older man wearing glasses, a hat, suit jacket, collared shirt, and trousers. He holds a young child with curly hair on his lap while sitting outside against the backdrop of what appears to be part of a porch or wooden structure. The elderly gentleman has one foot resting casually atop the railing behind him, suggesting he is seated comfortably in an outdoor setting.

The older man's facial expression seems contemplative and thoughtful as he looks directly at the camera with a slight frown on his face. His left hand gently grasps a walking cane that rests against the wooden structure beside him. The child appears to be wearing a white top, but their lower body is not fully visible in the frame.

The photograph evokes a sense of nostalgia and captures an intimate moment between the elderly man and the young child, possibly depicting a familial bond or relationship.

The image is a black and white photograph depicting an elderly woman sitting at what appears to be the edge of a sidewalk or curb. She's wearing sunglasses, a hat adorned with decorative pins, and has various accessories including brooches on her coat.

In front of her are scattered pieces of paper which seem like litter. The setting suggests a public space possibly in a city environment as we can observe cars passing by behind her, along with what appears to be an older style transport bus labeled 'TRANSPORT'. There's also another person seated further back and partially out of focus.

The elderly woman is holding onto a cane, suggesting she may have mobility issues. Her attire includes patterned pants or skirt, dark shoes, and seems well-fitted for cooler weather judging by her heavy coat. The overall mood of the image could be interpreted as contemplative yet somber due to its black-and-white tones and urban setting.

The photograph is credited with a source from "Cathedral Square, Christchurch" which indicates it's taken in New Zealand considering that Cathedral Square was notably affected during an earthquake there. It belongs to a series titled 'Notes on the country I live in', suggesting personal reflections or observations of daily life in this context by Ans Westra.

The photograph is a black and white image depicting a large group of people walking along the side of a road. The setting appears to be rural, with hills visible in the background under an overcast sky. At least 16 individuals are shown, many wearing casual or work-related attire such as jackets, shirts, pants, boots, gloves, hats, and various types of shoes. A few people can also be seen carrying items like a flag on a pole, a walking stick, or backpacks.

The group seems to have a cohesive purpose for their walk; they are all moving in the same direction along the road's shoulder with an organized formation. The presence of a single large white flag being carried by one person suggests that this could be part of some form of demonstration, march, religious pilgrimage, or cultural event.
