Book Synopsis Through a Native Lens by : Nicole Strathman

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.

Download or read book Excavating Voices written by Michael Katakis and published by UPenn Museum of Archaeology. This book was released on 1998 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Grand Endeavors of American Indian Photography by : Paula Richardson Fleming
Download or read book Grand Endeavors of American Indian Photography written by Paula Richardson Fleming and published by Smithsonian Books (DC). This book was released on 1993 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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

Book Synopsis Camera Indica by : Christopher Pinney
Download or read book Camera Indica written by Christopher Pinney and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wedding couple gazes resolutely at viewers from the wings of a butterfly; a portrait surrounded by rose petals commemorates a recently deceased boy. These quiet but moving images represent the changing role of photographic portraiture in India, a topic anthropologist Christopher Pinney explores in Camera Indica. Studying photographic practice in India, Pinney traces photography's various purposes and goals from colonial through postcolonial times. He identifies three key periods in Indian portraiture: the use of photography under British rule as a quantifiable instrument of measurement, the later role of portraiture in moral instruction, and the current visual popular culture and its effects on modes of picturing. Photographic culture thus becomes a mutable realm in which capturing likeness is only part of the project. Lavishly illustrated, Pinney's account of the change from depiction to invention uncovers fascinating links between these evocative images and the society and history from which they emerge.

Book Synopsis The Changing Presentation of the American Indian by : W. Richard West
Download or read book The Changing Presentation of the American Indian written by W. Richard West and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2017-05-01 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Museums--along with books, newspapers, and Wild West shows in the 19th century, movies and television in the 20th--have shaped our perceptions of American Indians. This book brings together six prominent museum professionals--Native and non-Native--to examine the ways in which Indians and their cultures have been represented by museums in North America and to present new directions museums are already taking. Traditional museum exhibitions of Native American art and culture often represented only the past, ignoring the living Native voice. Today, museums have begun to incorporate Native perspectives in their displays. Even more dramatic is the growth in the number of Indian-run museums. These essays explore the relationships being forged between museums and Native communities to create new techniques for presenting Native American culture. This publication will serve to stimulate the discussions and analyses that can lead to new partnerships and collaborations.
