Indian Days of the Long Ago - Photography by Edward S. Curtis
Today I want to present the work of Edward Sheriff Curtis (February 16, 1868 – October 19, 1952) a great photographer of the Native American.
During his carrier as a photographer he portrayed the traditional customs and life ways of eighty Indian tribes.
He gathered all his photos in twenty volumes which are organized by tribes and culture areas.
Here are just a few of his wonderful photographs taken between 1900 - 1930.
