This is a rare opportunity to view Edward S. Curtis' images that were created for a production "The Picture Opera" to raise funds in order to continue to photograph Native Americans. Hand colored photographs on glass were projected with a magic lantern along with orchestra music and spoken word, to raise awareness and money. He documented over 80 different tribes between 1907-1930.
