The Beauty Of Native American Women Photographed In The Late 19th Century Before The Genocide

In almost all Native American tribes, women played a fundamental role and were deeply respected by the community.

The tribes were often matriarchal and the women had nothing to envy their male companions, having to deal with the most varied and diversified tasks.

The photographic testimonies of this period are fascinating and restore to us all the magic of a noble civilization, unfortunately lost forever. Today, we want to show you beautiful portraits of women from various Native American tribes, taken between 1870 and 1900, before the genocide carried out by white settlers.
