Young Hairy Wolf, an Apsáalooke (Crow) man, sits for this portrait with his clothing and headdress carefully arranged, details the record singles out as subjects in their own right. Edward S. Curtis made the picture around 1905, during the years he was documenting Native peoples of the American West for his multivolume project *The North American Indian*. Curtis often posed sitters in traditional dress and adornment, and his images were meant to preserve what he saw as vanishing ways of life. Viewers today read them with that intent in mind, alongside the sitter's own role in shaping how he was presented.
