Indian Shamans

Indian Shamans

You are viewing an unusual image of the Arikara Medicine Fraternity. It was taken in 1908 by Edward S. Curtis.

The image shows Arikara shamans, without shirts, backs to camera, seated in a semi-circle around a sacred cedar tree, tipis in background.

We have created this collection of images primarily to serve as an easy to access educational tool. Contact curator@old-picture.com.
