Interesting fact about the Photographer: In 1924, Curtis formed the Indian Welfare League with the help of other men and women. They worked to ensure rights for Native American people. The group came together to create acts, such as the Indian Citizen Act, which allowed Native Americans to vote. (from: Makepeace, Anne. Edward S. Curtis Coming to Light.
