A unique pictorial record of more than 80 American
Indian tribes At the turn of the century, the American photographer Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952) started on his thirty-year project to produce a monumental study of North American
Indians. Using an approach that was both artistically and scientifically ambitious he recorded, in words and pictures, the traces of the traditional
Indian way of life that was already beginning to die out.
