Content Description

From the Collection:

This collection consists of 334 nitrate negatives from the Inter-tribal Indian Ceremonial, held in Gallup, New Mexico and nearby Window Rock, Arizona in 1932, though it is possible some images date are from other years. These images were taken by Burton Frasher or his employees, and all appear to be taken at public performances or events. Tribes represented include: Apache, Navajo and Lukakuchai, Arapaho, Kiowa, Shoshone, and the Pueblo tribes of Acoma, Tesuque, Hopi, Zuni, San Juan, Santa Ana, and Santa Clara. These images capture moments during the street parade, rodeo, pow wow, as well as campsites, animals, local landscapes and buildings, and individually posed portraits. Regalia and traditional dress feature in nearly every image. Further information about individual images will be added as it becomes available.
