Over the course of 30 years, Edward Curtis photographed and created sound recordings of over 80 Tribes across North America, leaving a tremendous record of Native people’s lives at the turn of the 20th century. He also brought his own biases to the project. Join Michael Holloman, a professor at Washington State University, for a talk on Curtis’s complicated legacy and the work of another early 20th century photographer, Frank Matsura.
