collaboration that left in its wake arguably
history’s most celebrated photographic
and ethnographic achievement. The rich
and varied cultures of 80 different Native
American tribes, most of which survive
today in 21st-century America despite a
half millennium of innumerable obstacles,
are displayed in Curtis’s photographs.”
