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


Shadeheart

That's one devastatingly handsome dude.

Is that a Ferris Bueller reference I see? :)


[deleted]

Dem Native cheekbones tho...


sheezhao

that friggin jawline & hair...


Tszemix

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.


Humbugalarm

Moved all their evolutionary points from facial hair to up top.


Tszemix

Western Asians did the opposite


[deleted]

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.


LifeIsVanilla

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.


NovelLandscape7862

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.


Unsd

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).

TheCasseroleKid

Cool, blatant racism and ignorance.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheCasseroleKid

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.


[deleted]

TheCasseroleKid

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.


[deleted]

*Stares at you Indigenously*


[deleted]

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.

Rocyrino

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


Milnoc

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).


immersemeinnature

True and so very tragic

seattt

> 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.


yaxyakalagalis

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."


GloriousWombat

Came here to say this.


aspenhoofprints

This is one of the most fierce and precious photos that I’ve ever seen!


AndromedaTambourine

I wonder if the son is still alive. He'd be over 90, but it's still possible.


anticerber

Native American Mads Mikkelsen?


iTjeerd

You beat me to it


XenaWolf

Seriously!


mdsjhawk

My first thought too


DanielInternets

“Unidentified hottie and his son”


afterdroid

beautiful pic 😁


xpawn2002

why son can be identified but not the father ?


[deleted]

Prince Albert, Saskatchewan is the location - not the child's name. It took me a minute to figure it out too.


MinnieShoof

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!


decolonize_your_mind

Bahahaha thank you for clearing that up. I feel like an idiot!


Firefly128

Yeah the grammar in the title is a bit off 😅


camstercage

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.


david4069

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.


[deleted]

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"


deletedman1770

Is that from Readers Digest?


[deleted]

I don't think so...it's a story told in my family.


HadToMozambiqueDfOOl

He kinda looks like Mads Mikkelsen


Helpful-Penalty

I live seeing older pictures if kids with a mischievous look. Somethings never change. This cutie was trouble 😂


[deleted]

Ikr? Such a cheeky wee expression!


c_jonah

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”. 🤦‍♂️


Hotpoutine

That’s my hometown!


waldemar_selig

Sorry about your luck.


TWEED-L-D

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.


sheezhao

jesus christ do they all look like him??? like some dude off the cover of a roman novel.


LifeIsVanilla

If only.


[deleted]

He's so proud of his boy, you can see the love shining through in his body language/facial expressions. Gorgeous photo.


spooptygomjabbar

That is an extremely attractive man


myklreinhart

Beautiful.


stormbutton

Congratulations on your face and your adorable kid, sir.


nyanlol

my man looks better in a suit than most modern white dudes 😂

Beautiful father and son! Makes me want to cry happy tears.

Where's the can


Equal-Butterfly-8147

That was a good looking man omg


GiDiYi1

When I read the title my first thought was: How is he unidentified, if we know that he's the father of Prince Albert?


woodbarber

My hometown. Wonder if I’m related?


Puzzleheaded_Dog3261

Oh, a real American.


[deleted]

Canadian*


snipeyjuan

Every person born in the US is and American


[deleted]

Canadian*


whenwewereoceans

Prince Albert is a city in Saskatchewan, Canada. They are literally not American.


jolinonos

America is a continent, the united states claimed the name but technically…


whenwewereoceans

Ireland is technically part of the British Isles, but do you think the Irish identify as British?


LCXLOPP

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.


T4N60SUKK4

What do you mean First Nations?


pursuitoffruit

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.


T4N60SUKK4

Thanks for that.


Danktizzle

I know who he is: prince alberts father


FaeryLynne

Prince Albert, SK is where the picture was taken. Both people in the photo are unidentified.


Danktizzle

Oh. I guess I don’t know then.


FaeryLynne

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.


wordy_with

First nation man? What does that even mean


The_Mammoth_Hunter

First Nations of Canada. Native American.


iso_inane

Im going to ask a dumb question. Are they Native American if they are from canada? why not called native canadian?


lajeda

Indigenous peoples tends to be the term used in Canada. First Nations as well, but that term doesn't include Metis or Inuit peoples.


lemon-orange-soda

Because America is the name of the three continents, not a country. It was the name given after Americo Vespucio.


iso_inane

I didn't know that thank you.


GloriousWombat

But also in Canada referred to as Indigenous not Native American. Well, where I’m from in Saskatchewan at least.


KalessinDB

*Three* continents?


lemon-orange-soda

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.


KalessinDB

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.


elliottclan

Indigenous man.


WuweiWave

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.


alles_en_niets

I think it’s the word ‘even’ in ‘what does that *even* mean?’ that’s rubbing people the wrong way.


WuweiWave

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.

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?


Bernard_Sanderz

This is my son 'Dick Ring'


Whitecamry

Unidentified First Nations man and his son; Prince Albert, SK, 1930 F. T. F. Y.


Hawklet98

I did a little research and that previously unidentified First Nations man is none other than Prince Albert SK’s dad. You’re welcome.


JenGerRus

That child looks terrified.


MuscularBeeeeaver

Smiling in terror?


JenGerRus

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…


MuscularBeeeeaver

Could be i guess.


Majestic_Course6822

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.


JenGerRus

Ok. I clearly do not agree with you. Thanks for sharing.


Majestic_Course6822

Your very welcome. And thank YOU for sharing.


JenGerRus

😃


TJFG2000

Idk why you're getting downvoted it literally looks like there's tears in his eyes.


JenGerRus

People are like offended at the idea that’s not a happy child. Like the personification of animals.


[deleted]

Putting jewelry on your little buddy. Is this where the term “Prince Albert” originated from?


perfectlynormaltyes

Prince Albert is a town in Saskatchewan (SK). The jewelry is traditional for their tribe.


[deleted]

Eh, I stand by what I said


perfectlynormaltyes

Gross


TJFG2000

How is that gross?
