An expansive photo record of Native American life in the early 1900s Born on a Wisconsin farm in 1868, Edward Sheriff Curtis grew up to become a commercial photographer in Seattle. In 1895 he photographed Princess Angeline, the daughter of the Duwamish chief Seattle, for whom the city was named. That encounter sparked Curtis' lifelong fascination with the cultures and lives of Native American tribes. He soon joined expeditions to visit tribes in Alaska and Montana. In 1906, Curtis was approached by wealthy financier J.P. Morgan, who was interested in funding a documentary project on the indigenous people of the continent.

Los vestidos y adornos de las mujeres vikingas - Vikingo.org-Escandinavia mitológica Existen pocos ejemplos que nos muestren fielmente cómo eran los vestidos que llevaban las mujeres vikingas, ya que han aparecido pocos restos de textiles bien conservados. Sin embargo, los que tenemos nos han mostrado pinceladas muy interesantes sobre cómo vestían las mujeres vikingas que han hecho posible reconstruir sus vestimentas. Hay que señalar que además de estos restos arqueológicos, las representaciones de mujeres de la época vikinga, como estatuillas o relieves nos han proporcionado mucha información al respecto. La moda vikinga, según lo que sabemos hoy, era muy parecida en toda Escandinavia aunque se ven diferencias de estilos según regiones y siglos. Aunque estas diferencias no son de gran relevancia hay estudios que han enumerado los diferentes estilos encontrados( si queréis ver todos los hallazgos, os enlazo a esta guía).

Nova Classical Academy A classical education teaches children the art of learning and trains their minds to think well. Classical education has a long and distinguished history, beginning in ancient times, maturing in the Middle Ages, and becoming prominent in this country until the early 20th century, when progressive, child-centered education became the dominant model. Classical education is not, however, a nostalgic desire to return to the past. It has endured so long and is now enjoying something of a renaissance precisely because it is adaptive and equips students with the skills and knowledge to go forward and live interesting, thoughtful, and productive lives.

Pictures of High School Awkward Dances from the 1970s These vintage photographs collected by Flashbak, primarily taken in the early 1970s. It was a time before disco, but after Woodstock. It had a little bit of the flavor of both the 60s and 70s, but plenty of teen awkwardness to go around. FM Towns Marty Huh?

Study groups at Mars College Academic life on Mars revolves around a collection of study groups. Study groups research subjects of interest to us, organize activities, and perform valuable camp services in exchange for space and resources. They come in many forms, ranging from those learning about technology (e.g. AI, VR/XR, telepresence), to those focused on life skills (e.g. culinary arts, vanlife, fitness, work-remote), to those dedicated to art and creativity (e.g. music, dance, crafts). Members are encouraged to participate in those study groups which interest them, and can initiate new ones. Everyone gets to be a teacher and a learner, and contribute to the overall programming in some way.
