Idyllic Past: The
Photographs of
Edward S. Curtis
Selections from Curtis,
"The North American
Indian" in the permanent
collection of the Custer
County Art Center
This collection offers a
unique view of the daily
life, ceremonial rites,
dress, and traditions of
the American Indian as
documented by Edward
S. Curtis. His photographic
masterwork, "The North American Indian", captures glimpses of more than 100 Indian nations who populated the U.S. and Canada west
of the Mississippi River. Working in the late nineteenth century a time
of tremendous change, growth, and challenge for Native Americans in the developing West.
Curtis intended to "form a comprehensive and permanent record of all the important tribes that still remained in the
area. His project was recognized by President Teddy Roosevelt and sponsored in part by financier J.P. Morgan. Selections from this work
are presented in the Hockaday,s exhibit. |
