In
over 2000 photoengrave plates and narrative, Curtis portrayed the
traditional customs and life ways of eighty Indian tribes. The twenty
volumes, each with an accompanying portfolio, are organized by tribes
and culture areas encompassing the Great Plains, Great Basin, Plateau
Region, Southwest, California, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska.
I
recognized several of the locations, shots taken at and near Canyon de
Chelly where they lived among the crevasses in the cliffs. I also saw
some Pueblo Indian shots. However, most of the ones around the lakes
were taken in the northeast.
