The image captures a sprawling landscape dotted with numerous tipis, showcasing the scale and communal nature of their gatherings. This photo, part of Curtis's monumental project documenting Native American cultures, offers a glimpse into the life and traditions of a disappearing way of life, capturing a moment frozen in time.
