North American Indian series (photo album; (Edward S. Curtis, American photographer 1868-1952); 1907-1930; J. Paul Getty Museum (Los Angeles, Los Angeles county, Calif...)

Note: This forty-volume work is comprised of photos of Native North Americans and First Nations individuals, towns, and material culture taken from 1907 to 1930. This project is sourced in Curtis's erroneous, but common belief that Native North Americans and their lifeways were disappearing in the early 20th century. The volumes span Native tribes across Alaska through Western Canada to California and the Great Plains. No Southeastern or Northeastern tribes are included.
