Edward S. Curtis ... Tells the Intimate Story of Indian Life with Motion Pictures.... Chicago: The National Printing and Engraving Co., c.1910. - Lithographic poster printed in 1910, when Curtis debuted his "picture opera," The Story of a Vanishing Race. The show included magic lantern slides of the photographer's work painstakingly hand-colored, supplemented by moving pictures, sound recordings of native songs, an orchestra, and Curtis's own narration.

Portrait of Edward S. Curtis, 1907 - by: Adolph Muhr

Edward Sherriff Curtis (February 19, 1868 – October 19, 1952) was an American photographer and ethnologist whose work focused on the American West and on Native American people. Sometimes referred to as the "Shadow Catcher", Curtis traveled the United States to document and record the dwindling ways of life of various native tribes through photographs and audio recordings.

Curtis's goal was to document Native American life, pre-colonization. He wrote in the introduction to his first volume in 1907, "The information that is to be gathered … respecting the mode of life of one of the great races of mankind, must be collected at once or the opportunity will be lost." Curtis made over 10,000 wax cylinder recordings of Native American language and music. He took over 40,000 photographic images of members of over 80 tribes. He recorded tribal lore and history, described traditional foods, housing, garments, recreation, ceremonies, and funeral customs. He wrote biographical sketches of tribal leaders.

i love!!! pavitr!!!! best part about him is that the astv creators just said he's indian. he could be any type of indian and you wouldn't be wrong. maybe he's malayali. maybe he's from mizo. maybe he's from punjab. maybe he's tamilian. maybe he's from sikkim. you decide!!!!

#'oh but he's from mumbattan!!1!!“'#ok. so?#mumbai based malayali #mumbai based punjabi #mumbai based manipuri kid #he really is mr. india #and like not to be too bitter here but like usually when we get indian characters they're usually north indian #which like i get. there are a lot more north indians in america than south probably but like while there are some overarching similarities #between north and south indians we're not the same. and it does get a little disheartening watching a new indian character #onscreen knowing you can't really relate to them at all.#but like pav is just like ambiguously indian. like he has no identifying characteristics of any indian states #like the most you could say is that he's maharashtrian cause mumbai is in Maharashtra #and like i love pavitr for that!!!#also before someone says smth #disclaimer! evrythg i said in the tags is based on how i feel as an american born south indian kid #pavitr prabhakar #astv #spiderman india

Bandoleer Bag. Fox artist, c. 1890. Cloth and beads.

Small rectangular cloth bag with long cloth handle. Completely beaded, with multi-colored angle patterns repeating on white beaded background, the field is organized in “threes.” Ribbonwork edging, and beaded and yarn tassels on bottom. The direct influence of Plains is visible in the bolder design of this bag.

planning out a canon-complicit tgcf fic is so hard not only bc I have to be even stricter with remaining in-character and faithful to lore but also the physical setting itself. for example. ahem:

DID THEY HAVE BANANAS IN THE CENTRAL PLAINS?

LOOK AT--NO LOOK AT ME. LOOK IN MY EYES. WOULD ANYONE IN TGCF KNOW WHAT A BANANA IS. LOOK AT ME-

#hewwo #NOW. i do i have some non-exhaustive research into the HISTORICAL conditions of fruit in china during the different real life dynasties #for example. watermelon only showed up in ''china'' around 10th century onwards. before that it was mostly in the indian subcontinent #but what about bananas. what about other tropical fruits from farther south #DO THEY KNOW OF THE HUMBLE ATIS. THE DURIAN. THE LANGKA. THE ARATILIS #unfortunately they definitely won't have manchineels (north/south american fruit) so i can't use that. much as i wish to 🙄

And now that you've answered that, why not sit back and enjoy a brief history of the American Revolution:

First, the Seven Years War happens. It's mostly thought of as having been fought in Europe, but a campaign (not that kind) is also fought in North America. It is called "The French and Indian War" by the locals.

Britain wins the war against France, and subsequently gets the rights to all land east of the Mississippi river.

Colonialists start moving onto native land, probably with a lot of aggression and arrogance. This is ok so far as Britain is concerned, because they assume that the colonialists can play nice with the natives.

That is not the case. As such, the natives push back against them. 500+ colonialists die during this conflict.

Britain realizes that the colonialists CAN'T play nice and forbids them from going west of Appalachian mountains. Troops are sent to enforce this. Taxes are raised to support the troops, levied mostly on the colonies because they're the reason this mess exists at all.

Wealthy Land / Business Owners get frustrated by Britain imposing its will on the colonies and disallowing them from spreading West. Sure, taxes are bad, but it probably wasn't the little folks paying the lion's share of them, except insofar as the fees associated with them are concerned, but you pay sales taxes, so you know that heavy toll already.

Unhappy working class colonialists don't like paying those extra fees, like any USAmerican doesn't like, but this dislike is further stoked into unhappiness via propaganda until war is inevitable.

France, convinced by wealthy colonialists, backs to revolution as a "fuck you" to Britain ("We can't have land in the Americas? Fine. You don't get your precious colonies, either")

America is born! If you're a wealthy white man you're free to do whatever! Otherwise you can fuck off.

Imperialist conquest of the continent begins in earnest ("but really it's just our Manifest Destiny to control the whole continent so it's alright").

+++++

Ultimately, if they don't benefit the wealthy, any establishment of rights in USAmerica regarding a disenfranchised group only happens after massive civil disruption.

Said rights are never seen as good by the establishment, only as the necessary price for keeping/restoring the peace.

For Example:

The north fought the civil war to keep the south in the union. The south fought the civil war to keep their slaves.

If Lincoln hadn't been killed and his VP hadn't bungled things as much as he did, there would be no amendment regarding slavery, it would be a purely legislative matter, not a constitutional one.

This means that, if Lincoln lived, we'd need to worry about republicans overturning anti-slavery laws too, in addition to everything else.
