Abstract
Indians played a role in Frederick Jackson Turner's frontier thesis as the resisting force against which Americans forged their identity in a new land. For Edward Curtis, whose monumental photographic project captured images of Indians in soft sepia tones, they were a vanishing race. Today, Indians are actors in American history, and their remarkable adaptation to changing circumstances has allowed them to survive as identifiable communities with distinctive cultures.
