About The Book: Indian Life and Indian Lore: Indian Days of Long Ago by Edward Sheriff Curtis is a collection of stories and cultural insights about Native American life, especially from the Plains and Southwest tribes. Aimed at younger readers, the book combines engaging storytelling with educational content, highlighting traditional customs, spiritual beliefs, hunting practices, and community life. Curtis, drawing from his extensive work documenting Indigenous cultures, seeks to preserve fading traditions through accessible narrative and vivid illustrations. While some aspects reflect early 20th-century romanticism, the book offers a respectful and valuable glimpse into the rich heritage and everyday experiences of Native American peoples. About The Author: Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952) was a pioneering American photographer and ethnologist best known for his extensive documentation of Native American cultures. Nicknamed the "Shadow Catcher," he spent decades photographing and recording the lives, customs, and ceremonies of Indigenous tribes across North America. His landmark 20-volume series, The North American Indian (1907–1930), preserved detailed images and narratives of over 80 tribes. Curtis also created films, wrote articles, and organized exhibitions to share Native heritage with a wider audience. While his work has faced criticism for idealizing Native life, it remains a significant and enduring visual archive of early 20th-century Indigenous cultures.
