In 1906, Edward S. Curtis received funding from J.P. Morgan to begin work on "The North American Indian," a twenty volume set of photographs and text documenting Native American tribes throughout the western United States. The third volume, featuring the Teton Sioux, Yanktonai and Assiniboin (or Crow) tribes, was published in 1908. "A biographical sketch of this subject is found in Volume III, page 187." Each volume of the North American Indian includes a set of portfolio photographs and a volume of text detailing tribal history and culture. At this time, the library has digitized the portfolio photographs from all 20 volumes. The accompanying text for each volume can be found on Northwestern University's website at: http://curtis.library.northwestern.edu/index.html Harriet Bullitt Master images photographed at 300 ppi, 48 bit color, and saved as TIFF files.
