Edward Curtis Photographs

I have taught on several native reserves and have a great love for our native people in Canada. One of my favorite photographers is Edward Curtis who captured the beauty and nobility of these ancient North American cultures. These are some of my favorite photos.

"In 1906, American photographer Edward Curtis was offered $75,000 to document North American Indians. Curtis set out to photograph the North American Indian way of life at a time when Native Americans were being forced from their land and stripped of their rights."
