Between 1900 and 1927, Curtis visited eighty tribes across North America and too more than 40,000 photographs, recorded songs and stories, and interviewed tribal leaders. The accompanying beautiful words are the prayers, songs, and wisdom of the peoples included in this book. American Indians lived in harmony with their environment and gave homage to the Great Spirit.
