This CD-ROM represents a historical era in which Native Americans found themselves at odds with a homeland that was growing progressively smaller in size. The beauty of these Native people are now available in digital format to forever preserve their history.

The contents are comprised of a Huge Archive of Photos from the Edward S. Curtis Collection

Edward S. Curtis is one of the most well-recognized and celebrated photographers of Native Americans. In the beginning of the 20th century, Curtis embarked on a thirty-year mission which he described as an effort "to form a comprehensive and permanent record of all the important tribes of the United States and Alaska that still retain to a considerable degree their...customs and traditions." Curtis visited more than 80 tribes across the country, and north into Alaska and parts of Canada. When he died in 1952, his lifework with Native Americans had all but faded into obscurity. "Rediscovered" in the 1960s and 1970s, Curtis's photographic work is now recognized as one of the most significant records of Native culture ever produced. All images are viewable in Gallery, Slideshow, and Individual Format.
