DescriptionPlate 215On View
Not on viewLabel TextPhotographs by Edward S. Curtis represent ideals and imagery meant to create a timeless vision of Native American culture. Although modern amenities and American expansion had already irrevocably altered the Indian way of life, Curtis went to great pains to create images of Native Americans posing in traditional clothing they had long since put away.
