  1. How the Native Americans and Their Landscapes Have Changed Throughout Time By Looking at Individual Native American Portraits, Landscape Photography and Documentary Photography

  2. Introduction The theme or themes of my exhibition of American West Photography will be focused on Native Americans being photographed throughout the early and late nineteenth century as well as current photography using digitally staged pictures for comparison. The other underlying theme that I will be integrating into the exhibit will be the work of American Landscape Photographers that captured Native Americans’ natural landscapes as they once were as well as how they appear today. The main goal of my American West Photography exhibit is to convey how much the Native Americans have changed throughout time as well as show how much the landscape that they once thrived in as a people has transformed through history.

  7. De Lancey Gill 1859-1940Photograph of Chief Joseph the Nez Percé Chief in Washington D.C. 1900Platinum Print This photograph of Chief Joseph was taken by Gill while he was visiting Washington D.C. for political reasons in April of 1900. Chief Joseph was a very prominent Nez Percé chief. Chief Joseph was born on March 3, 1840, in Wallowa Valley, Oregon Territory. He was converted to Christianity. He fought for his peoples land. You can see the toll that was taken on him over the years of war and tyranny in his eyes and face. But you can also see that look of confidence and smugness.

  8. Native Americans in the Landscape Edward Curtis1868-1952Praying to the Spirits at Crater Lake—Klamath 1923Platinum Print This photograph by Curtis is of a Klamath Indian chief in a ceremonial feather headdress standing on a mountain overlooking Crater Lake, Oregon. The chief in the picture stands dominant and proud overlooking nature’s magnificent natural beauty. Is the chief content with his surrounding or is he for seeing change to his beautiful land? Also Curtis captures Crater Lake at the perfect moment. The sunlight is just at the right angle to capture a reflection of the island off the lake. There is also a steam like effect rising from the waters that is enchanting. And the chief’s shadow is carried across the ground in front of him. Curtis was not trying to make a portrait of a chief here; he was trying to blend the chief into the landscape and make them as one, just like in reality.
