<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bev aka thelmasstuff, post: 158604, member: 23&quot;]Awesome find. </p><p><br /></p><p>Edward Curtis traveled throughout the country photographing Native Americans.&nbsp; It was later discovered that he carried trunks with regalia and costumes and used them on multiple subjects regardless of tribal affiliation, so some of his photos aren&#039;t accurate in that respect.&nbsp; What he did was valuable, but not totally historically accurate.&nbsp; Neither of these give credit to him, so they may not be his and he wasn&#039;t the only photographer doing that.&nbsp; I&#039;m just saying that you have to be aware of that.</p><p><br /></p><p>The other photographs I&#039;ve seen posed like these were from the wild west shows during that era.&nbsp; The eagle and crossed flags on one are similar to some of the beadwork on costumes worn in Wild Bill&#039;s shows.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
