A Canadian Cree Indian |
When I was a young boy, long ago, I had a rather romantic view of the North American Indians. They were either the wild heroes or - maybe more often - the villains of the comics and adventure books I, and probably most other boys of my age, liked to read.
When I now look at these early 1920s photographs of North American natives, I see proud, but often also very sad faces.
