How would one go about looking for a particular picture that has stood out in my head for over 12 years. I saw this photo at the Portland OR Museum , in 03. It was the Pacific Northwest exibit.The photo is that of a older Native American sitting on a crevice looking out on to Crater Lake. I so loved this photo. It's b/w probably late 1800 or early 1900. It's so mesmerizing the way he's looking out. Thanks for any help .
Do you get the pictures from your followers, or do you find them online? Either way, I love them!
Beth Pritchard just said it! This page is fantastic! I'm so glad I found it.
Jer Leonard Most photos we post come from our community at [external link] We have a rather large collection over the last 15 years. Aren't they great?!
It was popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s to document the Native Americans. There were a number of these photographers whose work is stored today in the Library of Congress.
A great many of the old photos of native Americans in "authentic dress" are posed and fake.
And then the whites rounded them up put them on reservations cut their hair sent their kids to far off boarding schools etc etc
And my Aunt is half Native..she is not sitting online waiting to take pictures with Natives out of context everytime one is posted
And then one person has to go down this road. We get it. It happened. It was bad. This picture has nothing to do with that. This is like pictures of Black people in a good situation or a good pic and someone has to go omg but slavery etc. This is the issue the baiting when the issue isnt even being brought up at the time.
This page is fantastic! I love old photos and you always have the best ones.
Thank you! It's all of the wonderful people who share these photos we have to thank!
