80 REAL Photos of Native American WOMEN of the Old West — Who They Were and How They Survived

Eighty real photographs of the Native American women of the Old West, from the 1860s to the 1920s. Princess Angeline, the daughter of Chief Seattle. The warrior women who fought and survived. The captives who lived between two worlds, like Cynthia Ann Parker. Geronimo's wives and the Apache prisoners of 1886. The chiefs' wives photographed in Washington in 1872. Life in the Plains camp and in the Southwest pueblos. And the survivors: the boarding schools, Zitkala-Sa, and Mollie Burkhart of the Osage murders. Every image comes from public collections (U.S. National Archives, Library of Congress, Smithsonian). Portraits by Curtis and Rinehart were staged, and the video says so.
