Edward Curtis was the most well-known photographer of native Americans. He produced many prints of Native American tribes that were all sepia-toned. his most famous work was The North American Indian (1907-1930) that had twenty volumes including poster-sized prints. The volumes were organized by tribe spanning over the regions of the Great Plains, the Great Basin, Plateau Region, Southwest, California, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska. He photographed over eighty tribes, giving the world the most famous depictions of Native Americans we still know today.
These photos show how Native Americans truly lived. I love the sepia tones, I think that it really makes the photograph unique.
I love the headdress on this man in the image. I think the colors and tones are great and it's just overall an amazing picture.
Once again I think we are lucky to have all these images of Native Americans that Curtis took. This just shows us so much about their lives.
