In 1906, American photographer Edward Curtis was offered $75,000 to document North American Indians. Curtis set out to photograph the North American Indian way of life at a time when Native Americans were being forced from their land and stripped of their rights.
Curtis' photographs depicted a romantic version of the culture which ran contrary to the popular view of Native Americans as savages.
