A collection of Native American bronze sculptures by Dave McGary
Dozens of one-of-a-kind images of Hopi and Navajo Indians, taken from 1904-1906 by Joseph Jacinto Mora (American, 1876-1947), the last known pieces from the original negatives. These images were part of a Smithsonian traveling exhibition (SITES) of Jo Mora’s work, which ran from 1979-1981, after which the negatives were donated to a university museum. Honoring a request by the Hopi Tribe, the museum reportedly agreed that no new photos will ever be made from the negatives depicting these sacred ceremonies.
