Edward Curtis was charismatic, handsome, a passionate mountaineer,
and a famous portrait photographer, the Annie Leibovitz of his time. He
moved in rarefied circles, a friend to presidents, vaudeville stars,
leading thinkers. But when he was thirty-two years old, in 1900, he gave
it all up to pursue his Great Idea: to capture on film the continent’s
original inhabitants before the old ways disappeared.
Curtis
spent the next three decades documenting the stories and rituals of more
than eighty North American tribes. It took tremendous perseverance
— ten years alone to persuade the Hopi to allow him to observe their
Snake Dance ceremony. And the undertaking changed him profoundly, from
detached observer to outraged advocate. Curtis would amass more than
40,000 photographs and 10,000 audio recordings, and he is credited with
making the first narrative documentary film. In the process, the
charming rogue with the grade school education created the most
definitive archive of the American Indian.
