Photographer Edward Curtis is well-known for his pictures of Native Americans — pictures that were, for him, an effort to document and preserve Native American culture.

Minneapolis collector Christopher Cardozo has put together a new book of Curtis' photographs. It's called "Edward S. Curtis: One Hundred Masterworks."

MPR News' Tom Weber talked with Cardozo about Curtis' work.
