Book excerpt: "Grand Endeavors of American Indian Photography presents the masterworks of photographers who, about the turn of the century, were inspired to document the lives of the first Americans. Spurred by an almost universal conviction that Indian peoples would soon vanish forever, they sought to gather, as photographer George Wharton James proclaimed, "all that we possibly can...ere it is too late."" "Their ranks included independent photographers - such as the maverick, bicycle-riding Sumner W. Matteson - who often lived among the people they photographed, gaining remarkable and unsurpassed access to the Brule Sioux of South Dakota and the Tlingit and Haida Indians of Alaska, among other nations. Other photographers set up studios at world's fairs and expositions. Like the Gerhard sisters of St. Louis, they seized the opportunity to photograph Indian delegations, including the aging faces of Geronimo, Osage chief Oh-Lo-Ho-Walla, and Arikara chief Red Star." "Perhaps the best of the photographers were the pictorialists, Roland W. Reed and Edward S. Curtis. Combining a skilled art style with ethnographic detail, they produced lasting images of Native Americans of several nations: Pueblo, Navaho, Apache, Crow, Mohave, Cheyenne, Ojibway, Gros Ventre, Kiowa, and Blackfeet among them." "Tracing the history of attempts to record the lives of American Indians, this book includes many images never before published. Reaching back to the early endeavors of painters, drawing on the journals of photographers and their interviews with Native Americans, the book reveals brave, resilient, and dignified peoples who have not vanished. In the words of George Horse Capture, a Gros Ventre, "We are here now, have been here for thousands of years, and we will always be here. We have fooled them all!""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is American Indian photography? At the turn of the twentieth century, Edward Curtis began creating romantic images of American Indians, and his works—along with pictures by other non-Native photographers—came to define the field. Yet beginning in the second half of the nineteenth century, American Indians themselves started using cameras to record their daily activities and to memorialize tribal members. Through a Native Lens offers a refreshing, new perspective by highlighting the active contributions of North American Indians, both as patrons who commissioned portraits and as photographers who created collections. In this richly illustrated volume, Nicole Dawn Strathman explores how indigenous peoples throughout the United States and Canada appropriated the art of photography and integrated it into their lifeways. The photographs she analyzes date to the first one hundred years of the medium, between 1840 and 1940. To account for Native activity both in front of and behind the camera, the author divides her survey into two parts. Part I focuses on Native participants, including such public figures as Sarah Winnemucca and Red Cloud, who fashioned themselves in deliberate ways for their portraits. Part II examines Native professional, semiprofessional, and amateur photographers. Drawing from tribal and state archives, libraries, museums, and individual collections, Through a Native Lens features photographs—including some never before published—that range from formal portraits to casual snapshots. The images represent multiple tribal communities across Native North America, including the Inland Tlingit, Northern Paiute, and Kiowa. Moving beyond studies of Native Americans as photographic subjects, this groundbreaking book demonstrates how indigenous peoples took control of their own images and distinguished themselves as pioneers of photography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The pictorial turn in the humanities and social sciences has foregrounded the political power of images and the extent to which historical, political, social, and cultural processes and practices are shaped visually. Political iconographies are taken to interpret norms of actions, support ideological formations, and enhance moral concepts. Visual rhetorics are understood as active players in the construction and contestation of the political realm and public space. The twenty-one articles by scholars from Europe and the United States explore the political function and cultural impact of images from the perspectives of Art History, American Studies, Visual Culture Studies, History, and Political Science. The contributions in particular address the complex interplay between agent and addressee in the public space as well as issues of national identity, discourses of inclusion and exclusion, and the designation of political spaces within transnational contexts. The publication is part of the interdisciplinary research initiative “Perceiving and Understanding: Functions, Perception Processes, Forms of Visualizations, Cultural Strategies of Pictures and Texts” at the University of Regensburg.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edward S. Curtis's The North American Indian is the most ambitious photographic and ethnographic record of Native American cultures ever produced. Published between 1907 and 1930 as a series of twenty volumes and portfolios, the work contains more than two thousand photographs intended to document the traditional culture of every Native American tribe west of the Mississippi. Many critics have claimed that Curtis's images present Native peoples as a "vanishing race," hiding both their engagement with modernity and the history of colonial violence. But in this major reappraisal of Curtis's work, Shamoon Zamir argues instead that Curtis's photography engages meaningfully with the crisis of culture and selfhood brought on by the dramatic transformations of Native societies. This crisis is captured profoundly, and with remarkable empathy, in Curtis's images of the human face. Zamir also contends that we can fully understand this achievement only if we think of Curtis's Native subjects as coauthors of his project. This radical reassessment is presented as a series of close readings that explore the relationship of aesthetics and ethics in photography. Zamir's richly illustrated study resituates Curtis's work in Native American studies and in the histories of photography and visual anthropology.

Book excerpt: Introductory essays by Katakis (photographer and writer), Vizenor (Native American literature, U. of California) and Preucel (curator and professor of anthropology, U. of Pennsylvania) discuss how the attitude of the photographer affects the image produced, whether a photograph is worth a thousand words, and the multitude of voices represented by the 48 full-page bandw photographs. The loudest "voices" speak of Manifest Destiny, progress, and industrial capitalism, which have both defined and controlled the ongoing conversation between native peoples and whites.
