Native American Images (Library of Congress)











Follow the link at the bottom (or click on the title) to the complete collection (more than 700 images) of Edward S. Curtis's photographs of the Native American. These images have for me a special significance since they embody in many ways a different relationship with the natural world, a fundamental connection that we seem to have lost in the modern world. Perhaps these images can help to rekindle some respect for living closer to nature. Click on volume than gallery view when the list of plates comes up. You can move from group to group as you navigate the collection. You can enlarge if you want and save images to your own files as I have done for this blog. I like to listen to the chants while looking at the images.
