Native Alaskan With Child – 1906
As indicated, this picture depicts a Native Alaskan woman holding her child. Alaskan-born Native Americans are among the largest group of Native American tribes in the country. They have been divided into numerous groups long before now and have gone through lots of diversity when it comes to classifications. The Native Alaskans were committed to protecting their livelihood and children at all costs, and as seen in this photo, the woman is clearly showing lots of protection towards her child

High Hawk – 1907
Here we have a picture of High Hawk, a popular member of the Brulé tribe – one of the seven branches of the Teton Lakota American Indian tribe. Studies have shown that the Brulé tribe had an interesting history as they were formed while fleeing through a grass fire in search of safety and a different life. The name Brulé means “burnt,” so there might be lots of truth to their origin story. This picture was taken by a popular photographer at the time, Edward S. Curtis.
