專家說明

Edward C. Curtis has preserved for future generations an important era in American history and provided an opportunity to understand the Native American experience. Perhaps the most important legacy of Curtis's monumental accomplishment is the expression of an extraordinary and deeply felt sympathy with the personal and spiritual lives of the American Indian. In this respect, Edward S. Curtis stands alone among the photographers of Native Americans (Christopher Cardozo, Sacred Legacy: Edward S. Curtis and the North American Indian, Simon & Schuster, New York, 2000, p. 25).
