Taboo is not only known for his musical talent but also for his dedication to raising awareness about Native American culture. He leverages his platform to share stories about the history and heritage of Native communities, emphasizing the importance of cultural preservation and indigenous rights.

One of Taboo’s notable contributions is his song “Stand Up / Stand N Rock” (We Are Standing Rock), released in 2016 to support the movement advocating for clean water and environmental protection at the Standing Rock Reservation. The song earned an award at the Native American Music Awards.

Beyond music, Taboo serves as an ambassador for organizations promoting health, education, and rights for Native American communities. He continues to inspire younger generations with positive messages of resilience and cultural pride.

It Is Him. Otoe. 1907

The Valley of the Rosebud. A Cheyenne man. 1905. Photo by Edward S. Curtis.

𝗔𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗙 𝗕𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗞 𝗛𝗔𝗪𝗞 of the Lipan (some say Kiowa) tribe. W.S. Soule took the photo near Fort Sill, Indian Territory (Oklahoma), during 1869-75.

Slow shutters required total immobility for some seconds and rarely captured such a relaxed expression! Eyebrows, lashes, and facial hair had been plucked. Black Hawk wore a peace medal and an insignia of an Army colonel. There was a curious skin pattern along the right eyelid that extended onto the forehead. The photo was perhaps captured outdoors with use of a backdrop and reflectors. In my home area of Eastern Montana, there were no resident photographers until the arrival of John Fouch in December 1876 at Fort Keogh. Fouch was followed by S.J. Morrow, L.A. Huffman, and Christian Barthelmess. Each except Fouch was the subject of one or more books. Click image on a PC to enlarge. Text and digital restoration of photo by Gary Coffrin.
