Navajo Man – 1903
The Navajo people worshipped a lot of gods, but their greatest was Nayenezgani, who was known as “the killer of alien gods.” Nayenezgani and his twin brother Tobadzishini worked in killing monsters and converting them to stones which turned into large formations to create the Monument Valley in Arizona. This belief is a Navajo mythological system. The Navajo people still have high respect and regards for their gods as, during special events and functions, they would wear masks that showcases these monster killers.

Gertrude Three Finger – 1892
Gertrude Three Finger is a well-known figure in history as she was known more for her fashion sense as she usually dons elk teeth as decoration. Irwin, a popular photographer, has worked with her numerous times, and though there are many photos, one that showcased her and her child in a papoose was a standout element. They portrayed high levels of genuineness in that photo, and another standout was on a cabinet card created on a print sheet. It is currently on display in the library at Oklahoma University.
