FLATHEAD COUPLE, c1905 - A Glimpse into Native American Daily Life in Montana
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1905 offers a rare glimpse into the daily life of a Flathead Native American couple on the Flathead Reservation in western Montana. Captured by photographer Edward H. Boos, this image showcases Mose Vandenburg, a proud Flathead man, seated outside a traditional tipi alongside his wife. The photograph exudes an air of tranquility as Mose skillfully plays a drum with focused intensity while his wife sits beside him. The couple's attire reflects their cultural heritage, adorned with headscarves and clothing that speak to their Salishan roots. Surrounded by the vast grasslands of the Great Plains, this scene transports us back to turn-of-the-century America when indigenous communities thrived amidst nature's beauty. The campfire crackles nearby as cooking utensils such as pots and pans rest on the ground—a testament to their resourcefulness and self-sufficiency. Mose's rhythmic beats echo through the open entrance of their tipi, drawing our attention to its intricate frame and craftsmanship. It is within these sacred spaces that traditions were passed down from generation to generation. This remarkable photograph serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact—preserving not only the memory of Mose Vandenburg but also honoring the resilience and rich culture of Native Americans who called Montana home over a century ago.
