This page is a gateway to information concerning approximately 80 western Native American tribes, visited and photographed by Edward S. Curtis from 1890 to 1930, taken from The North American Indian, Curtis' massive lifework. The North American Indian consists of 20 volumes of text, describing in detail all aspects of each Native American tribe's life and customs.
Due to the large amount of information contained in The North American Indian, this portion of The Curtis Collection website will have to be constantly updated in order to provide more detail. Therefore, this site will be in "continuous construction" starting with basic tribal information. More detailed information, photographs/gravure images, and special items will be added on a regular basis. Please continue to visit the site for information concerning the tribe(s) in which you have an interest.
The decision to group certain tribes together in single description was made by the author, Curtis, based on his evaluation of the similarities of language and customs, and, in no way, reduces the importance of any one singular tribe. The selection(s) made for the quote(s) for each tribe is not meant to be definitive or compete, but informative, regarding not only the specific tribe, but of all tribes. The Curtis Collection takes no responsibility for the accuracy of the statements or quotes, made in The North American Indian, but merely reflects them for your information.
