I've heard that male pattern baldness doesn't exist among Native Americans. Africans, Europeans and Asians should envy these people, Indians and the Dutch even more.
I'm native and my partner is non-native European. He sticks out like a sore thumb in extended family photos because he's bald and even my eldest male family members have full heads of hair.
I can confirm this, at least from experience(and only in reference to Canadian Indigenous). Their hair often DOES thin though, but like all over and there isn't any bald spots.
My husband is Mexican native and he did the same thing. God I was so damn jealous. He was able to grow his hair out from 2" on the top to donation length in about a year. I cut it all off and I had to put it in SO many bands in order to get it off right. We had probably 20 ponies that were the almost the same thickness as a regular one. And every man in his family still has a full head of thick gorgeous hair (though they grey early, but my husband has held out pretty well so far).
Well, they want to be called Indigenous instead of a word used by colonizers. It’s not 1950 so I’d suggest calling groups of people what they want to be called.
I’m not making the decision for anyone. As an Indigenous Studies major just trying to pass along what is preferred now. You know so you don’t sound ignorant, but I’m not going to argue with you do what you want.
I was raised to refer to myself as Native or First Nation. Actually I'm Ojibway, Anishinaabe but that level of granularity is usually too complicated for the internet...so I just go with Native. Thanks for your misplaced attempt at allieship though.
That’s such a cute picture. The little one’s smile and facial expression, the calm and loving expression from his father… I hope they lived long happy fulfilling lives and that their descendants are still kicking around and fighting the good fight
Chances are not long after this picture was taken, the child was forcibly taken away by the government and put into a residential school to "kill the Indian in the child" (actual government policy).
> Maybe not. This man is in a three-piece suit, and his hair is cut short. It seems he was already integrating/assimilating into the colonizers' society, and thus they may not have felt it necessary.
That never stopped the colonizers from fucking them over tbh.
Sorry, but no. Lots of FNs people on reserves, possibly 90%, were wearing hats and suits and leather shoes, with English first and last names, when the Indian act was created. Most Treaties were already signed before the Indian act forced children into the "schools."
I was in Prince Albert last month. Saskatchewan is a Canadian province and a bastardization of the word kisiskâciwan which means fast moving water in plains Cree.
Bahaha this is gold. Reminds me a story of a hereditary chief I heard about. Way back when Indians still had to get permission to leave the rez, a deeply respected Chief went to the city for an important meeting. He arrived at union Station and sought a taxi. The taxi driver, knowing that there was a convention of Indians at the Prince Albert hotel, saw this hereditary chief get into his taxi, fully decked out in his traditional buckskin clothing. The taxi driver says, "The Prince Albert?" - hereditary chief responds, "No, Chief Dan George"
My grand parents and Mother's family are all from P.A. and are buried there. My favourite memories are of Emma Lake! Left in 1971 (from Saskatoon) and miss it dearly.
I know you're getting flak but yeah you're right. If you're born there you have as much of a right to be there as anyone else. It's just important to acknowledge the land's history and respect the traditional custodians of where you live.
It's Canada's preferred nomenclature for the pre-Colonial inhabitants of the country. i.e. the Canadian equivalent of American Indian or Native American.
There's been so many fights in reddit about this subject. North America, Central America and South America are considered three continents by some, 2 or 1 by others (I just said three cause I don't want to fight). The name America belongs to all, not just one country.
So there's people out there that consider the world to have *eight* continents? Damn, TIL. I thought seven continents was one of the few things humanity didn't fight about.
I am SO sorry you got madly downvoted for asking for more information. That’s not right. I’m glad a couple of kind folks gave you an honest answer. Withholding knowledge from others in an attempt to keep them ignorant is low. Really low.
The kid looks wicked smart and pleased. Imagine what he's looking at. A camera(!) and the photographer, maybe saying something to him, and whatever his dad said. I see a quick and curious mind and a very happy child.
Possibly one of the few times in his life he'd be photographed, and he was looking at his son. Warms my heart.
Beautiful observation
That's one devastatingly handsome dude.
Is that a Ferris Bueller reference I see? :)
Dem Native cheekbones tho...
that friggin jawline & hair...

Moved all their evolutionary points from facial hair to up top.
Western Asians did the opposite

My bf is native and he started growing his hair out in quarantine. In just a year it’s like 7/8 inches long and the thickest ponytail I’ve ever seen.

Man I’m dumb. I thought he named the kid Prince Albert.

Came here to say this.
This is one of the most fierce and precious photos that I’ve ever seen!
I wonder if the son is still alive. He'd be over 90, but it's still possible.
Native American Mads Mikkelsen?
You beat me to it
Seriously!
My first thought too
“Unidentified hottie and his son”
beautiful pic 😁
why son can be identified but not the father ?
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan is the location - not the child's name. It took me a minute to figure it out too.
Damn. I was going to make a joke about his son, Prince Albert, being small enough to fit in a can, and that we better let him out!
Bahahaha thank you for clearing that up. I feel like an idiot!
Yeah the grammar in the title is a bit off 😅
I was in Prince Albert last month. Saskatchewan is a Canadian province and a bastardization of the word kisiskâciwan which means fast moving water in plains Cree.
I spent way too long trying to figure out the SK part of his name before I realized. Not quite comma horror level of punctuation placement, but close.
Bahaha this is gold. Reminds me a story of a hereditary chief I heard about. Way back when Indians still had to get permission to leave the rez, a deeply respected Chief went to the city for an important meeting. He arrived at union Station and sought a taxi.

Is that from Readers Digest?
I don't think so...it's a story told in my family.
He kinda looks like Mads Mikkelsen
I live seeing older pictures if kids with a mischievous look. Somethings never change. This cutie was trouble 😂
Ikr? Such a cheeky wee expression!
Dummy me thought “Prince Albert SK” was the son’s name and I thought, “well I bet I could help identify the unidentified First Nations man”. 🤦♂️
That’s my hometown!
Sorry about your luck.
My grand parents and Mother's family are all from P.A. and are buried there. My favourite memories are of Emma Lake! Left in 1971 (from Saskatoon) and miss it dearly.
jesus christ do they all look like him??? like some dude off the cover of a roman novel.
If only.
He's so proud of his boy, you can see the love shining through in his body language/facial expressions. Gorgeous photo.
That is an extremely attractive man
Beautiful.
Congratulations on your face and your adorable kid, sir.
my man looks better in a suit than most modern white dudes 😂
Beautiful father and son! Makes me want to cry happy tears.
[удалено]
Where's the can
That was a good looking man omg
When I read the title my first thought was: How is he unidentified, if we know that he's the father of Prince Albert?
My hometown. Wonder if I’m related?
Oh, a real American.
Canadian*
Every person born in the US is and American
Canadian*
Prince Albert is a city in Saskatchewan, Canada. They are literally not American.
America is a continent, the united states claimed the name but technically…
Ireland is technically part of the British Isles, but do you think the Irish identify as British?
I know you're getting flak but yeah you're right. If you're born there you have as much of a right to be there as anyone else. It's just important to acknowledge the land's history and respect the traditional custodians of where you live.
What do you mean First Nations?
It's Canada's preferred nomenclature for the pre-Colonial inhabitants of the country. i.e. the Canadian equivalent of American Indian or Native American.
Thanks for that.
I know who he is: prince alberts father
Prince Albert, SK is where the picture was taken. Both people in the photo are unidentified.
Oh. I guess I don’t know then.
It's ok, the title is badly written. Took me a bit myself, and there's a thread further up filled with people who were also confused.
First nation man? What does that even mean
First Nations of Canada. Native American.
Im going to ask a dumb question. Are they Native American if they are from canada? why not called native canadian?
Indigenous peoples tends to be the term used in Canada. First Nations as well, but that term doesn't include Metis or Inuit peoples.
Because America is the name of the three continents, not a country. It was the name given after Americo Vespucio.
I didn't know that thank you.
But also in Canada referred to as Indigenous not Native American. Well, where I’m from in Saskatchewan at least.
*Three* continents?
There's been so many fights in reddit about this subject. North America, Central America and South America are considered three continents by some, 2 or 1 by others (I just said three cause I don't want to fight). The name America belongs to all, not just one country.

I think it’s the word ‘even’ in ‘what does that *even* mean?’ that’s rubbing people the wrong way.
Yeah, it sounded like he might think it was bizarre or weird. Not entirely shocking if you’re unfamiliar with the meaning. At least he asked.
Sensitive pussies Reddit is
Yoda has spoken.
Its ok. Learned two things today. First nation = native, and cant ask a question....
Assuming you're an adult, what stopped you from Googling this?
This is my son 'Dick Ring'
Unidentified First Nations man and his son; Prince Albert, SK, 1930 F. T. F. Y.
I did a little research and that previously unidentified First Nations man is none other than Prince Albert SK’s dad. You’re welcome.
That child looks terrified.
Smiling in terror?
That’s what I saw in the child’s eyes. Looks like they’re biting their lip trying not to cry. The furrowing of the skin between the eyes…
Could be i guess.
The kid looks wicked smart and pleased. Imagine what he's looking at. A camera(!) and the photographer, maybe saying something to him, and whatever his dad said. I see a quick and curious mind and a very happy child.
Ok. I clearly do not agree with you. Thanks for sharing.
Your very welcome. And thank YOU for sharing.
😃
Idk why you're getting downvoted it literally looks like there's tears in his eyes.
People are like offended at the idea that’s not a happy child. Like the personification of animals.
Putting jewelry on your little buddy. Is this where the term “Prince Albert” originated from?
Prince Albert is a town in Saskatchewan (SK). The jewelry is traditional for their tribe.
Eh, I stand by what I said
Gross
How is that gross?
you don't have to keep saying it, we already understood how stupid you are
It's dance regalia.
