I love this photograph. It says so very much about their pride and even glimpses into their solemness. The color, obviously being afterwards gives the viewer a clue into the rich hues of color they used in their clothing. Because of their constant exposure to the elements, their skin became progressively weathered. This man was obviously younger than most of the other males photographed. It is hard to tell whether or not he minded being photographed. In this and many of the other photographs their humaness shows through. I don't believe the Europeans truly saw them as savages, but in fact suffered from extreme greediness. They say anyone who came in close contact with the various tribes were forever changed.
