As stated in the National Anthropological Archives; between 1908 and 1913, Wanamaker, son of a Philadelphia department store owner, sponsored three expeditions to the American Indians. These were photographic expeditions intended to document a passing way of life and make the Indian "first-class citizens" to save them from extinction. Joseph K. Dixon was the photographer. On the first expedition, he made many portraits and captured scenes of Indian life. The expedition climaxed on the Crow Reservation with the filming of a motion picture about Hiawatha. The second expedition in 1909 involved a motion filming a reenactment of the Battle of the Little Big Horn. etc. William Leete Stone (1792-1844).
