Edward S. Curtis Above the Medicine Line chronicles the three-decade journey of photographer Edward Curtis as he documented the First Peoples of the North American West. Concerned about the potential loss of traditional Aboriginal lifestyles, Curtis photographed and recorded details of their daily lives and cultures. His extensive work led to the creation of the 20-volume opus, The North American Indian, praised as a monumental publishing effort. The book highlights Curtis's expeditions along the Pacific Northwest coast and within the Blackfoot Confederacy's territories, featuring over 150 photographs and providing insight into Curtis's dedication and the cultural richness of the indigenous communities he captured.
