Young Hopi
Four young Hopi ladies stand for this photograph shot at Walpi village around the turn of the twentieth century. The Walpi village is among the oldest continually inhabited settlements in the continental United States. The settlement was relocated to fight against advancing Spanish colonists, and it still preserves most of its original architecture today.

Young Sioux Woman
A young Sioux woman poses gracefully in her full traditional outfit. The Sioux are not a single nation, but rather a collection of tribes with the same linguistic roots who were admired for their strength, tenacity, and vital position in their civilization. The Sioux moniker is a contraction of the word “Nadouessioux,” which was given to them by the Ojibwe tribe and means “the enemies,” due to their long history of intertribal strife. The Sioux became one of northern America’s largest militias and were even recruited to fight in the American Civil War.
