Native American Icon Leonard Peltier Captured in Wet Plate Photography Technique

For the past 12 years, Balkowitsch has used this process to capture images of Native Americans in a series called Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective. His goal is to photograph 1,000 Native Americans—Peltier was number 862. So far, Baklowitsch has taken 5,335 plates of 862 Indigenous men and women from all over Indian Country.

ABY BUT IN ALLCAPS

Two of the BPU’s most committed organisers are at breaking point after a traumatic 18 months. These are good, hardworking people who have given everything to the community, and right now, they need the community to have their backs.

A recent act of financial abuse has left them in crisis, forcing them to cover urgent costs for accommodation, relocation, and medical needs. We’re aiming to raise $10,000 to help them regain stability.

Please donate what you can and share this fundraiser widely. Solidarity is everything.

...ancestral homelands but also to preserve and continue our Mvskoke way of life.

The implications from this battle were a major turning point in the trajectory of our nation and the impact is still felt to this day.

It not only boosted Jackson's rise to the presidency but eventually led to the Indian Removal Act where thousands of our ancestors were forced on the "Trail of Tears" to Indian Territory.

211 years ago, on March 27, 1814, over 800 Mvskoke men, women and children died in what is known today as "The Battle of Horseshoe Bend"

Never before or since have so many Native Americans perished in a single battle.
