This collection consists of 105 photographic images of Native American peoples throughout the U.S., primarily in Arizona and New Mexico. A number of the postcards and photographs were sent back and forth between non-Native family members who worked in Indian Boarding Schools in Fort Defiance, AZ, among other locations.
Scope and Contents:
The Arizona and New Mexico postcard and photograph collection consists of postcards, photographic prints, and stereographs, totaling 105 photographic items. Many of the postcards and photographs date to between the early 1900s and the late 1920s and were sent between non-Native family members who worked in Indian Boarding Schools, including those at Fort Defiance and Chinle in Arizona, Chilocco in Oklahoma, Haskell in Kansas, and Lac du Flambeau in Wisconsin.
These items have been organized into three series. Series 1: Postcards, 1908-1916, includes 79 postcards. Approximately 10 postcards contain images taken by the photographer Simeon Schwemberger of Diné (Navajo) people on the Navajo Reservation, and were sold out of his studio in St. Michaels, Arizona. Series 2: Photographs, 1896-1926, includes 18 photographs. Several of these include depictions of Native and non-Native peoples in Fort Defiance in Arizona, Haskell in Kansas, and Lac du Flambeau in Wisconsin. Series 3: Stereographs, 1865-1875, includes 8 stereographic images. These stereographs contain images taken by the photographer William Stinson Soule (Will Soule) of Kiowa-Apache, Niuam (Comanche), and Southern Tsitsistas/Suhtai (Cheyenne) men near Fort Sill in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma), between approximately 1865 and 1875.

Content Description:
The N.A. Forsyth stereograph collection consists of eleven stereographic images taken by photographer N.A. Forsyth between approximately 1906 and 1909. Forsyth visited and documented life on a number of Native American reservations in western Montana, including the Pikuni Blackfeet (Piegan) and the Salish (Flathead). This collection also contains one stereographic image taken by photographer C.H. Graves in eastern Idaho in 1902 depicting a leader of the Shoshone people.
Arrangement:
This collection is arranged into folders by cultural group.
Biographical / Historical:
Norman A. Forsyth was born in upstate New York in 1869, and at a young age moved west with his family to Nebraska. By the early years of the twentieth century he moved west again, this time to Montana, opening a photo studio there in Butte in 1904. Employed first by Underwood and Underwood and later by the Keystone View Company, Forsyth photographed landscape scenes of Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks which were sold as stereographs. Additionally, he also documented the daily lives of a number of Native communities of western Montana, including the Pikuni Blackfeet (Piegan) on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation and the Salish (Flathead) on the Flathead Indian Reservation. He died in 1949.
