In this 1900 photo, two Blackfeet lodges stand in a field with tall grass. A dog sits in front of one lodge, looking toward the camera. A woman in a long dress walks past the second lodge. Edward Curtis took this shot while living with the Blackfeet for weeks. He wanted to show their daily life, not just battles or chiefs. Look up Edward Curtis (American, 1868–1952) to see more of his work.
