Native American Pictures and Photos
Picture of Native American Indians provide insight into the history of the first Americans. Some of the earliest Native American photos were clearly taken to provide depictions of the "noble red man from a disappearing race" or the "barbarous savage in need of civilization" for the white Americans. Fortunately, today, Native American pictures tend to depict a much more balanced and realistic look into Native American culture.
Many pictures of American Indian tribal members today provide insight into the culture, art and lifestyle of these people. Beautiful, handcrafted jewelry created in traditional designs are seen being worn by both women and men. Photos and artwork showing the skills of the craftspeople creating hand-woven blankets and rugs, moccasins, ceremonial clothing and head dresses are seen in many American homes.
Artisans from the Indian Nations create beautiful drawings and paintings that are examples of truly some of the finest American art. No longer is the American Indian shown as a "red man". Depictions of day-to-day events in the lives of these people tend to show deep feeling blended with a deep and abiding sadness. If you are lucky enough to own one of these fine pictures, you have a true treasure.
