Taboo Nawasha (Jaime Luis Gomez) was born on July 14, 1975, in Los Angeles. Rising to fame as the dynamic emcee of the Black Eyed Peas, he powered hits like “Where Is the Love?” and “My Humps” on Grammy-winning albums Elephunk and Monkey Business, redefining early-2000s pop and hip-hop.

Beyond the stage, Taboo’s 2016 anthem “Stand Up / Stand N Rock” earned a Native American Music Award for its solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe.

FOSTER TUSLER On A Hog, 1902. Evelyn Cameron shot the extraordinary portrait in Eastern Montana. The apparently lactating sow was eating from a pan, while accommodating the young lad.

Early cameras required no movement to prevent blur. Photographers absorbed the cost of failed captures, and disliked photographing kids and animals because both moved unpredictably. Cameron was in a low position to obtain a kid-level perspective … rare when bulky cameras used tripods for stability. Cameron obtained a wonderful capture despite some blur from motion.

MÉTIS BUFFALO BONE SCAVENGERS, 1886. By the late 1700s, the Métis, mixed-raced descendants of primarily French fur-traders and Chippewa Natives, had their own communities and culture. The F.J. Haynes photo at Minnewaukan in Northeast Dakota Territory displayed the unique two-wheeled Red River carts of the Métis. The wheels had no outer iron tires. If you click or stretch the image, you can see the wood pins that secured the wheels to the wood axles. A mare was feeding her foal, which was standing behind the right cart.
Buffalo bones were used in refining sugar and making fertilizer, bone China, and other items. The last of the large buffalo herds were gone by 1883, but scavenging continued for years. Text and digital restoration of F.J. Haynes photo by Gary Coffrin.

“The Standing Rock Portraits” had this Frank Bennett Fiske portrait as its cover photo. The length of the bow was typical of Sioux and other tribes for use on horseback. The headdress had golden eagle feathers. Its beaded headband had ermine danglers.

Fiske's studio was at Fort Yates on the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas. The portrait of an identified man dated from 1906 or so. Fiske seldom took his camera outdoors, but this was a spectacular exception.

In sharp contrast, my favorite Old West photographer, L.A. Huffman, often spent weeks in the field. Twenty-five years earlier, Huffman took portraits at Fort Keogh (adjacent to Miles City, Montana) of some of the same Sioux warriors who appeared in the recent Fiske volume.
