In almost all Indian tribes, women were fundamental and were deeply respected by the community. The tribes were often matriarchal and women were not inferior to their male companion, having to deal with the most varied and diversified tasks.

Photographic evidence of this period are fascinating and we recreate 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 the white settlers.
