Cheyenne, “Waiting in the Forest,” photograph by Edward S. Curtis (1910).

            Edward Sheriff Curtis (1868 - 1952) was an American ethnologist and photographer of the American West and of Native American peoples.  In 1906, J. P. Morgan provided Curtis with $75,000 to produce a series on Native Americans. This work was to be in 20 volumes with 1,500 photographs and the project was to last more than 20 years.

222 complete sets of Curtis’ “The North American Indian” were eventually published.  Curtis' goal was not just to photograph, but to document, as much of Native American traditional life as possible before that way of life disappeared.

[Note:  Other than cold weather, there is no religious significance that I'm aware of for the Burka-like clothing worn by this Native American. However,  it seems that some Native American women did cover their faces with veils, blankets, or shawls in certain situations, such as mourning, modesty, or protection from the sun.]
