Edward Curtis: Shadow Catcher features 32 images created by legendary American photographer, Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868–1952) from his monumental project, The North American Indian.

Beginning in the early 20th century and continuing over the next thirty years, Edward Curtis, or the “Shadow Catcher” as he was later called by some Native American tribes, traveled throughout the lands west of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers to document traditions and cultures of Native American peoples, a project unequaled in the history of photography. Curtis took over 40,000 images and recorded rare ethnographic information from over eighty Native American tribal groups, ranging from the Inuit people of the far north to the Hopi people of the Southwest.
