• Lot Description

  Apache Indians Drawing Rations at San Carlos A.T. Full-length albumen outdoor stereoview. Globe City, Arizona Territory: J.C. Burge, circa 1880. Period ink title to mount recto. Photographer's imprint printed to mount verso. 

  
      
  Stereoview of Apaches lined up alongside a brick wall. In the distance, another building is visible with groups of people sitting around its base. The bodies of the individuals are obscured, but it appears to be primarily women and children in a queue. Period ink to the lower margin of the view identifies the scene as Apache Native Americans lined up to receive rations.

   

  The history of rations within Native populations correlates directly with the pressure put on tribes to give up their lands in exchange for reservations. As Buffalo disappeared from their land, the native populations depended even more upon the rations that were promised by the United States government as annuities for their exchanged and diminishing land. 

   

  Photographed by J.C. Burge (1839-1897), a prominent photographer who documented many scenes of Native Americans throughout Arizona and New Mexico, this stereoview documents a startling effect of forced land acquisition imposed upon Native populations by the United States government.
