Curtis ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The Blackfeet/Blackfoot Nation (Aamsskáápipikani, Pikuni), is a federally recognized tribe of Siksikaitsitapi people, with an Indian reservation in Montana. Tribal members primarily belong to the Piegan Blackfeet (Ampskapi Piikani) band of the larger Blackfoot Confederacy that spans Canada and the United States. The Blackfeet claim to have lived on the Northern Great Plains for thousands of years. Through raids in the Southern Plains and trade with the Cree, they eventually acquired firearms and horses. They were a powerful force on the Great Plains, controlling an area that extended from North of current day Edmonton, Alberta Province, as far South as to Yellowstone National Park; and as far West from Glacier Park all the way East to the Black Hills of South Dakota. After contact with settlers, they increasingly kept to the most Western regions of their territory and slowly exited what is now Eastern Montana and Western Sakatchuwan. (Books of Carl Waldman) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mr. Curtis, Renowned Photographer (Signs his work "E. S. Curtis") ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Edward S. Curtis was born near White Water, Wisconsin, on February 16, 1868, he became interested in the emerging art of photography when he was quite young, building his first camera when he was still an adolescent. In Seattle, where his family moved in 1887, he acquired part interest in a portrait photography studio and soon became sole owner of the successful business, renaming it Edward S. Curtis Photographer and Photogravure. By the 1890's, Curtis began photographing local Puget Sound Native Americans digging for clams and mussels on the tide flats. One of his earliest models was Princess Angeline, the aged daughter of Sealth, the Suquamish chief after whom Seattle was named. Later, as an official photographer of the 1899 Harriman Expedition, Curtis documented the geological features of the Alaskan wilderness as well as its indigenous population. This was a pivotal experience for Curtis and greatly increased his interest in Native cultures. He visited tribal communities in Montana and Arizona and began in earnest to photograph many other Native Americans in the West, spending more time in the field and less time in his studio.
