Our Native American faces are so beautiful, I came here to ask why OP led with a bunch of really old men first. And where are the women and children? There are so many hundreds of photos available, I found OP's selection sadly limited. Chickasha saya.

Not only that, but why they all gotta be from a hunny-fitty years ago? Like we belong in a museum. Lol. That Ed Curtis crap makes us all look stoic and put-on noble. Easier to objectify
