"We all are human beings. Edward Curtis captured the image of the beautiful people of the nation, of the Indian nation, and of the Indian culture and religion.

He captured it in these photographs. And of all the other photographs of other individuals in this book, I hope they are blessed. And Edward Curtis did that for all of us, and I'm very grateful." 

- Marcellus Medina
