About this work
Gertrude Käsebier's photographs of Native Americans represent simple, artistic portraits of Indians traveling with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show and on reservations of the Dakota Sioux. Fond memories of playing with Indian children during her youth led Käsebier to write to William F. Cody with her request to photograph Indians performing in his show at Madison Square Garden in 1898.
