Loti-Kee-Yah-Tede Known As “The Chief’s Daughter” Shot At Pueblo, New Mexico, 1905
Portraits of Native Americans are Carl Moon’s specialty as an American photographer, and he is famous for his work in this genre. He came to Albuquerque in 1903, and then he began his lifelong interest in taking photographs of the indigenous Pueblo people. You may know Loti-Kee-Yah-Tede from this photo of her in 1905 wearing traditional attire.
Moon’s work had gained a significant amount of notoriety during this period, and as a result, ex-President Roosevelt extended an invitation to him to visit the White House. In 1914, the artist and his wife moved to Pasadena, California, where they both started working on children’s books shortly after their arrival.
