Featured in this lot is "Blackfeet Indians of Glacier National Park" prints by Winold Reiss, published by Great Northern Railway Company, St. Paul, Minnesota, with included pamphlet, "Out of the North: A Brief Historical Sketch of the Blackfeet Indian Tribe" by Frank B. Linderman, published by St. Paul Book & Stationary Co., St. Paul, Minnesota. This is a portfolio of twenty-four colour plates by Winold Reiss, who worked extensively with the Blackfeet Indians in the early 1900's. In all, Reiss made more than 250 original paintings of Native Americans, mostly of the Blackfeet. In later years, his artwork was used on Great Northern Railway calendars. These prints have vibrant colors and amazing details that enhance the physical attributes of each person and their clothing, and "offer an authentic record of how they looked and dressed". Also included is a "Out of the North: A Brief Historical Sketch of the Blackfeet Indian Tribe" by Frank B. Linderman (published and copyrighted by Great Northern Railway Co. 1947). He was a Montana writer, politician, Native American ally and ethnographer. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, he went West as a young man and became enamored of life on the Montana frontier. While working as a trapper for several years, he lived with the Salish and Blackfeet tribes, learning their cultures. He later became an advocate for them and for other northern Plains Indians. He wrote about their cultures and worked to help them survive pressure from European Americans. For instance, he supported establishment of the Rocky Boy Indian Reservation in 1916 in Montana for landless Ojibwe (Chippewa) and Cree, and continued as an advocate for Native Americans to his death. This booklet is an authentic account of the Native American Blackfeet (Blackfoot) people. The Booklet and all 24 prints are in fair condition but the sleeve is very worn and has tears and scuffs along all edges. Each color plate measures 9"W x 12"L, portfolio measures 9.25"W x 12.5"L.
