Sioux Braves achieved greatness because they were the first to face danger and the last to enjoy the comforts of peace. To the Sioux people, the Brave was the personification of the "Hoop"—the protector of the sacred circle of life who ensured that the fire of the nation never went out. In this picture is a Young Sioux Brave holding a rifle pointed skyward, with a full warbonnet, which was probably provided to him for the picture. It was common for Sioux Braves to portray confidence in the form of valor even before the fight and getting that mental edge needed to be known as they were in the 19th century.
