United States, 1910
by Edward Curtis

In the early part of the 20th century, the American photographer Edward Curtis embarked on a thirty- year mission that he described as an efort «to form a comprehensive and permanent record of all the important tribes of the United States...» In this image, part of Curtis’s study of the Kutenai tribe of northern Montana and Idaho, a duck hunter patiently waits in the cover of the reeds and morning fog.
