Stunning photos of Native Americans in early 1900s

Fortunately for future generations, Edward S. Curtis was a multi-media expert more than a century ago, well before anyone knew what that was, or thought to coin the phrase.

Glad you liked them Matty. I just wish there had been more. Fascinating stuff.

I live just a few miles outside of the Poarch Creek reservation and most of the Creeks (Muskogee) are hardly recognizable since they have interbreed with whites. It's very rare today to see a dark skinned NA like the ones in those photos, I know a few tribal members who have blond hair and blue eyes. Two of my great great grandmothers were Cherokee (from N.Carolina) but you couldn't tell it by looking at me, I look 100% European.

Oh yes there are a few of those about local indigenous people here



Right before things got genocidal and those peeps were wiped out.
