The Photo Group of Navahos in Tesakod Canyon 1904 Description
Although unknown for many years, Edward S. Curtis is today one of the most well-recognized and celebrated photographers of Native people. Born near White Water, Wisconsin, on February 16, 1868, he became interested in the emerging art of photography when he was quite young, building his first camera when he was still an adolescent. In Seattle, where his family moved in 1887, he acquired part interest in a portrait photography studio and soon became sole owner of the successful business, renaming it Edward S. Curtis Photographer and Photoengraver. In the mid 1890s, Curtis began photographing local Puget Sound Native Americans digging for clams and mussels on the tide flats.
