CURTIS, Edward Sheriff (American, 1868-1952). The Rush Gatherer ? Kutenai. 1910. Orotone. Signed in plate lower right. Image 8 x 9 ?". Frame 10 ? x 12". The Curtis Studio (label attached verso). This photograph was taken on Flathead Lake in Northern Montana and the Indigenous person pictured is from the Kutenai tribe. The Kutenai were semi-nomadic and occupied portions of southeastern British Columbia, northern Idaho, and northwestern Montana, moving seasonally to follow food sources. The Kutenai usually crafted their canoes of pine bark, but as illustrated here, occasionally made canoes of fresh elk hides stretched over a framework of fir strips. Overall good condition.
