This is Black Thunder, a Sioux man taken around 1908. Across the 18th and 19th centuries, boundaries between Black and Native worlds were not fixed but lived through enslavement, escape, intermarriage, alliance, and shared confrontation with a nation expanding over both. Yet records rarely capture that complexity. The portrait names him but does not explain. A man made visible, a history only partially told. Library of Congress.

@AskPippa It was and still is. Haiti has never had the chance to fully develop self determination.

@gimulnautti That’s certainly a consideration given the history.
