- Synopsis
- Learning all he could about American Indians at the turn of the 20th century and sharing it with world defined the meaning of photographer Edward S. Curtis’ life. Curtis took his first photo of an American Indian in 1895. For the next 30 years he traveled the West and north to Alaska to chronicle traditional native culture. The result was the magnificent—and controversial—20-volume project, The North American Indian. While some scholars and American Indians found fault with Curtis’ work, many more greatly appreciate it. Although his grand endeavor was nearly forgotten when he died in 1952, Curtis’ rediscovered photographs will live forever.
