Native Enough

The image many people hold of Native Americans today can be attributed largely to Edward Curtis, a late nineteenth-century American photographer whose work often was staged to show Native subjects in full regalia and without markers of cultural adaptation. Native Enough aims to dispel the stereotypical image of Natives so heavily influenced by Curtis. This collection of black-and-white portraits alongside interview excerpts provides a poignant look at the faces of Native college students, proving that stereotypes fall short in the faces of Native diversity.
