This text is designed to accompany an exhibition exploring the photographic representation of Native North Americans before World War I and the advent of Modernism. The themes covered include the development of photography, the emergence of anthropology as a discipline and the historical period that witnessed the white colonization of the West, as well as the final stages of Indian revolt and the government policy of assimilation. The text challenges the stereotypical view of the "Red Indian" that we know from popular culture and includes photographic journeys by six authors - three Native and three non-Native.
