  • "Portrait de la vie et l'œuvre d'Edward S. Curtis (1868-1952), un pionnier de la photographie qui a travaillé sur la vie des Indiens d'Amérique dans la première moitié du 20e siècle. Le film raconte l'histoire dramatique de la vie de Curtis, son œuvre monumentale, et ses points de vue changeants sur la population sur lequel il travaillait. Le film laisse aussi la parole au peuple indien qui utilise les photographies de Curtis pour aider à la préservation de leur culture, à raconter des histoires sur les personnages des photos, et à expliquer leurs coutumes et traditions."
  • "A documentary on the complex, dedicated, flawed life and work of Edward S. Curtis. Self-taught and very successful society photographer in early 20th century Seattle, he dedicated most of his career to chronicling the traditional ways of life of the Hopi, Navajo, Eskimo, Blackfeet, Crow, Blood, Piegan, Suquamish, and Kwakiutl Native peoples before they vanished, in 40,000 photographs, 10,000 recordings, and a full-length ethnographic motion picture. Explores many of the ironies inherent in Curtis' story, the often controversial nature of his romantic images, and the value of these images and recordings today. Includes commentary by Natives (including descendants of people photographed) on how his contributions helped preserve their cultures and ceremonies."
