It's Been Over 100 Years Since An Artist Has Done This In America. About Time Someone Did It Again.
More than a century has passed since a photographic journey explored Native Americans with such a broad scope and in this amount of detail. In 1906, photographer Edward S. Curtis was commissioned by J.P. Morgan to capture the “disappearing” race.
In 2014, to change perceptions about Native Americans, photographer Matika Wilbur believes we have to update the kind of imagery we're looking at when we think of her race. It's a beautiful — and important — idea.
Stunningly beautiful work to build new cultural bridges and carry this Native American story on for the next seven generations for all.
Thank You Joseph Lamour & Upworthy : Things that matter. Pass 'em on.
