This photogravure of “Chief Tin-Tin-Meet-Sa,” taken by Joseph K. Dixon in 1913, forms part of the Rodman Wanamaker expeditions photographs. The aim of the expeditions was to “accurately” depict and publicize indigenous life. Wanamaker was particularly concerned that the “vanishing race” would be lost to modernity and relegated to reservations.
