This group of lantern slides by photographer Walter McClintock depicts Blackfeet tipis in Montana between 1896 and 1914. Many of the McClintock lantern slides have been digitized and are available through Yale's Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library.
McClintock was an Easterner and a graduate of Yale who initially went West for his health and then returned to serve as official photographer for a government expedition surveying forests in Montana. William Jackson (or Siksikakoan), one of the expedition's guides, befriended McClintock and when the survey was finished, introduced him to a Blackfeet group. McClintock was to visit Blackfeet communities off and on for eighteen years.

So bittersweet. That had to be about the last years they lived as they chose.

Traveling through the southwest and seeing the grinding poverty many of our indigenous people live in will haunt me forever.
