Born on a Wisconsin farm in 1868, Edward Sheriff Curtis worked as a photographer in Seattle. In 1895, he photographed Princess Angelina, the eldest daughter of Seattle, the leader of the Suquomish tribe for whom the city was named. This encounter had such an impact on Curtis that he developed a lifelong fascination with Native American culture.
Edward soon joined an expedition to see for himself how Native Americans lived in Alaska and Montana.
In 1906, Curtis met wealthy financier J. P. Morgan, who began sponsoring a documentary project on the continent's indigenous peoples. They envisioned creating a 20-volume series called North American Indians.
Thanks to Morgan's support, Curtis traveled all over North America for 20 years, taking nearly 40,000 photographs of Indians from more than 80 different tribes. He recorded their songs and languages on thousands of wax cylinders and documented oral histories, legends, and biographies.
