- W1981000546 abstract "Sarah Winnemucca (1844-1891), a Northern Paiute woman, pretended to be an American Princess and promoted herself in this image. This is clearly seen in formal studio portraits she had made. In creating this image, however, she joined herself to a stereotype that on one hand would make her acceptable to Euro-American mentality, but on other hand tied her to 19th-century notion of Indian Princess, an expression of what Rayna Green has called the Pocahontas Perplex.' To be an effective activist and a promoter of self-determination (which Sarah Winnemucca attempted) in a period when women in general and Indians in particular had little input into white male power structure was, I believe, incompatible and even in conflict with this stereotype. The image that she promoted may, in fact, have worked against her and limited her credibility. This study is based on existent formal studio portraits of Sarah Winnemucca.2 Formal portraits make purposeful statements of how subject wanted to be known, and can be revealing a personal diary. These photographs, however, must be viewed a group. Individually they cannot tell us much about subject or patterns in her life, just a page in a diary gives no holistic view. For any viable study of photographs there must be a critical number that allows us to form a hypothesis and interpretation. That finite number, however, will vary with subject. In this article I will examine these photographs as artifacts of and social process surrounding photography an 'ethnographic' situation revealing of culture (Ruby 1981:23). These portraits are thus not unrelated, but form a body of visual documents whose study reveals distinctive cultural and social patterns. In general, scholars fail to take photographs seriously and do not use them primary documents. They are considered too subjective, and difficult to extract reliable facts from. The written word alone carries validity. I believe that if we approach visual material critically and with proper historical method we" @default.
