ᏏᏲ @CantorArts, @Stanford alum/ former Cantor intern (2006?) here. I helped redo your Native gallery. I think my name is on the wall still. Anyway. This is a bad tweet and here’s why.
(There are lots of Native folks in your mentions saying this too but just my two cents)
Curtis has a complicated and painful legacy in Native communities. He set out to capture what he termed “the vanishing race,” believing that Native folks were going extinct and needed to be documented before their disappearance.
But he also had very strong beliefs about what constituted a “real” Native person, and would choose costumes, poses, and locations to capture his stereotype-laden aesthetic. He would mix regalia from tribes and physically manipulated negatives to erase signs of “modernity.”
