Curtis' fieldwork for The North American Indian came to a close during the summer of 1927, when he spent the season with the Eskimos of subarctic and arctic Alaska. Curtis noted that the distinguishing characteristic of these peoples was their adaptability, for they would not have survived in, much less settled in, an area of such severe climate if they were not. Their sophisticated ability to cure and work skins into parkas, boots, and mittens was unparalleled anywhere in North America. The Eskimos were also brilliant makers of equipment, since hunting was an unforgiving pursuit in arctic and subarctic conditions; their kayaks, fishing hooks, spears, and traps were all ingeniously contrived and the hunting weaponry exceptionally deadly. From "Woman and Child - Nunivak", "Ready for Sealing - Nunivak" and "Launching the Boat - Little Diomede Island", it is these aspects which are highlighted in the images of this portfolio. In many ways, Curtis's return to Alaska provided a fitting end to The North American Indian. It brought a sense of closure to the project, but it also must have helped him put his thirty-year odyssey into perspective. As he stated in the introduction to volume twenty, "…great is the satisfaction the writer enjoys when he can at last say to all those whose faith has been unbounded, "It is finished"". 35 photogravures on Japanese Gampi tissue with original Van Gelder overmats Dimensions: Folio: 23 x 19 in.
