Breaks my heart that these natives have been genocidally pushed to extinction and their culture stolen to make racist party costumes.

You shouldn't wander off the marked trails, you know. /s

White man came across the sea-
He brought us pain and misery-
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed-
He took our game for his own need

Their clothes look cotton? The shoes look western too.... are they actually in native clothing or was this faked/dressed up?

Also, the photo's from 1913, European colonisers had been there for centuries by that point. Trading and different textile methods.

Sometimes I think it would be nice to live in a simpler time.
JoeDepciMowed
What do you think is a "simpler" time?
januarylover
Provided you weren't a person of color, a woman, LGBTQIA, poor, disabled, believed the "wrong" religion...
PennyLava
it was not simpler but harder. go out live like that no one hinders you.
RainCityRogue
The year before World War One?
xheartonfirex
I’m American. US joined in 1917. But I wouldn’t have been sent anyway.
hippietown
forshadowing? lol
kc2syk
1913 wasn't really a simpler time.
putcleverusernamehere
That pesky world war stuff was just around the corner
kc2syk
Also no modern medicine.
SnoopyDancing
any time in particular you would want to go to? not too many periods where it wasnt shitty also depends on what race you are going back as
putcleverusernamehere
Came here to say the same thing. I'm privileged, so many eras might be OK. Not so much for many others I'm embarrassed to say
jonkobuld
Who's not privileged?
xheartonfirex
Honestly, as a girl, any time I went back to would be shittier than now as far as rights are concerned. But wives weren’t expected to think.
SnoopyDancing
i guess i shouldve added gender also, sorry.
combi123
Native American pre- European
SnoopyDancing
they had some bloody wars against each other also.
chunkylover73
You are obviously not black.
xheartonfirex
No, but I am a woman. While not the worst treated in history, we didn’t exactly have it easy either.
jonkobuld
Whatever. John Lennon said it best
chunkylover73
Great, now go get me a sandwich! JK?
xheartonfirex
I couldn’t find the pic of the weird sandwich standing on its end….

Time travel for me would only work if I'm going to the 90's to invest in stuff. Otherwise hell no.

1. The photo was taken by Roland W Reed and is titled The Eagle. Reed was one of several photographers who focused on Native Americans.
KnightFerret
2. It's important to remember that a number of these photographers weren't taking authentic photos of native life at the time though
KnightFerret
3. Instead they focused on what they thought the lives of Native Americans were like before they were forced onto reservations.
KnightFerret
4. Edward Curtis famously brought props and posed his subjects, creating scenes that misrepresented or conflated tribal customs.
KnightFerret
5. They very much precipitated the myths of the noble savage and the vanishing race, which you still see in response to the photos.
jonkobuld
Yeah, what an evil bastard
SkycladNightStroller
Thanks for sharing that, it makes sense as there’s such a disparity between portrayal’s tho I’m withe REH on the noble savage point
WaffleStompFantasy
Buuur I live sorta close in northern/central Alberta Canada and glacier parks are my favourite place I’ve been too. But cold even in summer
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
That’s the opposite of Florida. Here it’s hot even in winter. T_T
CAmedian
I can’t imagine the cold without modern convenience. I guess it’s why fur was necessary. But still…how shitty it must have been…
laylowdown
Yeah, totally shows how badass they were running around barely clothed in those conditions.
Slimewire
Or, you know, this is a staged photo :)
WaffleStompFantasy
That’s what I thought….. I was like brrrrr
aloysiuscentauri
I have a feeling they knew how to stay warm.
WaffleStompFantasy
I mean I’m 6 hours more North and a few hours drive of the Rockies so amazing hot hot summers but always found Watertown chilly in summer….
WaffleStompFantasy
9°f tonight and I’m in to long johns under jeans but it was -50°f almost all winter and I survived not sure how the first Nations people did
