Two photographs of same image; landes_photo_chippewa_people_07 is an enlarged duplicate. From Ruth Landes' field research on Ojibwa religion, during which she worked closely with Will Rogers, Chippewa shaman or mideĢ, in Red Lake, Minnesota. Landes wrote on the verso of landes_photo_chippewa_people_15 in both ink and pencil. The writing in ink appears to be annotations made by Landes at a later date. Handwritten on verso: "3. [ink] III. Ojibwa Will Rogers, Pindigegizik. Red L. 1934, by RL. [pencil] Will Rogers, Red Lake 1934."
The Ruth Landes papers are open for research. The nitrate negatives in this collection have been separated from the collection and stored offsite. Access to nitrate negatives is restricted due to preservation concerns.
Access to the Ruth Landes papers requires an appointment.
