Overview

These Native American portraits reflect the tragic history of the Cheyenne, Sioux, Pawnee, Cherokee, and other tribes whose leaders traveled to Washington in the mid-19th century to negotiate treaties with the US government. As compelling as the famous photographs of Edward S. Curtis, these unique images provide a close-up, unromanticised record of Native American life at the beginning of the great westward expansion of US territory. The photographs form the core not only of the Smithsonian's extensive collection of Native American photographs but of many collections in museums around the world.
