Matika Wilbur
Photo project a piece of history
Sign up for HeraldNet Headlines
Gale Fiege's article in the Sunday Herald about the Indian photographer Matika Wilbur and Edward Curtis brought back memories. (526 tribes, one photographer). In 1963 I was working at the Salvation Army store in Lake City. Edward Curtis' daughter came in searching for her father's original photos. She was thrilled to find a 4X5 framed photo in perfect condition. I have a National Geographic book of his photos, "Edward Curtis: Coming to Light" by Anne Makepeace.
I grew up near the Sioux Reservation in Fort Totten, North Dakota, and have always been interested in Native American cultures.
I also have a book of Seattle photos by Edward Curtis' brother, Asahel. They were not friends, but that's another story.
Thank you for an excellent local paper.
