Portraits from North American Indian Life. A Review
Portraits from North American Indian Life / photographed by Edward S. Curtis (BBS Publishing, 1992) Hardcover, 176 p. ISBN 9781579126803
Portraits from North American Indian Life presents 88 photographs and photogravures selected from The North American Indian, a mammoth photographic project undertaken by Edward S. Curtis and published in 20 volumes between 1907 and 1930. Curtis helped popularize the once prevalent view that the Indians represented a vanishing race. Now we recognize that each tribe has its own unique history, culture, and customs, and that they won't disappear. Their lifestyle before the expansion of white culture across the continent has pretty much disappeared, though, and Curtis was able to document it before it did.
Curtis set up a photography business in Seattle, Washington in 1891 when it was still a frontier town. Chief Sealth of the Salish tribe had surrendered the Puget Sound area in 1855, and the town was named for him. When Curtis started his business, Sealth's daughter and other people from the tribe still frequented Seattle. Curtis became the town's leading portrait photographer, and also loved to take pictures of city scenes, Mt. Rainier, and local Indians. Seattle's position as a leading port city also enabled Curtis to travel and seek other subjects.
His Indian photographs won national prizes, and as he visited more tribes and learned more about them, he conceived a project to document their vanishing lifestyle. A grant from financier J. P. Morgan enabled him to do the fieldwork necessary for the project, which included not only formal portraits and candid photos, but oral histories, language data, and musical transcriptions.
Although anthropologists and Native American leaders have found much to criticize in Curtis' methods and cultural assumptions, they continue to value The North American Indian. It appears that Curtis' work is more widely known now than it ever was in his lifetime. Several calendars with his Indian portraits have been issued. The first edition of Portraits from North American Indian Life appeared in 1972 as an adjunct to a retrospective exhibition of Curtis' work. The present reprint appeared in 1992 and has only lately become available on remainder.
Portraits from North American Indian Life will appeal to anyone who appreciates Indian history and culture, fine portrait photography, or coffee table books in general.

American Indian heritage and religious beliefs now a novelty?
Many people have made the American Indian's interpretation of God some sort of quaint, new age spirituality religion that exists only in their head. As a Ojibwa, I resent the people selling dream-catchers and stupid "Spirit in the Sky" pictures. Do others feel the same? What if Christians started wearing Star of David stuff all of a sudden?
So-called American Buddhist have done the same thing to Tibet and Japan. I think that it is an example of what is called "spiritual materialism." People feel spiritually impoverished, and seek something that may enrich their lives. They buy Indian beads, or wear crosses, or oriental cloths. It's all a sort of "dress up" game, but a game it remains. This type of behavior, while understandable, has no relation to true spiritually, which is very down to earth and ordinary.
