dc.description.abstractDocumenting Diversity: How Anthropologists Record Human Life is an exhibit showcasing the history of anthropological fieldwork through rare archival and print materials from the National Anthropological Archives and the Smithsonian Libraries. The show traces the progress of technologies used to record human life, from paper to film to today’s digital media. The exhibit also grapples with the limits of such documents. Some ethnographic “data” resist documentation. It may be hard to record, or Indigenous community members may not choose to share it (especially with white anthropologists collecting it). But a rare document in the exhibition is an exquisite piece in the hand of master illustrator Silver Horn, or Haungooah. Silver Horn was a Kiowa artist distinguished for his prolific career and intricate drawing style.en_US
