The men and women he portrayed were his friends and neighbours who were living on the reservation. These images, created with a large studio camera on glass negatives, are notable for their depth and clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe negatives were recently rediscovered and have rarely been displayed.
