Curtis created a monumental collection of Indian pictures and attempted to visit and picture all important tribes of the United States, British Columbia, and Alaska., The basic purpose of this collection of pictures is their use as illustrations for "The North American Indian," a work of twenty volumes and twenty supplementary portfolios of pictures.
