Mongolia will host a renowned collection of rarely seen photographs of North American Indians later this summer. 

The exhibit, called "Sacred Legacy," contains 60 museum-quality photographs of North American Indians from different tribes and regions. 

The photos were taken by Edward Sherriff Curtis between 1890 and 1930. Curtis understood he was documenting a culture which was quickly vanishing. Through his pictures, it is possible to view the people, the dress, and the day to day lives of more than 80 North American Indian nations. 

Curtis is well known for his portraits, landscapes and still life photos. The exhibit is currently on a worldwide tour.
