介绍（中）	镜头很好地记录了北美原住民和非原住民之间的麻烦关系。19世纪50年代和19世纪60年代，白人摄影师搬到了西部，欢迎美洲原住民进入他们的工作室。他们很少付钱给拍摄对象，很少记录他们的名字或部落，经常给他们的保姆穿工作室道具，混淆了民族志记录内战结束后，大多数所谓"印第安"照片的拍摄地向东迁移至华盛顿特区，美国政府邀请数百名印第安人代表团进行正式国事访问，以寻求和平、谈判条约和获取部落土地。代表团摄影是任何国事访问的常规部分，包括贝尔在内的许多肖像工作室都从中获利。几个世纪以来，奥托人一直生活在内布拉斯加州的普拉特河河口附近，但到1881年，印第安人事务部迫使该部落出售土地，搬到现在俄克拉荷马州诺布尔县和帕尼县的印第安人领地。根据部落历史，1881年10月，Otoe一家将他们的财产装上70辆马车，穿过堪萨斯州，来到他们在俄克拉荷马州北部的新家，他们今天住在那里。
介绍（英）	The troubled relationship between native and non-native North Americans was well documented by the camera. In the 1850s and 1860s white photographers moved West and welcomed Native Americans into their studios. They rarely paid their subjects, seldom recorded their names or tribes, and often dressed their sitters in studio props, confusing the ethnographic record. After the end of the Civil War, the locus for most so-called "Indian" photographs moved east to Washington, D.C., where the United States government invited hundreds of Native American delegations for official state visits in an ongoing effort to seek peace, negotiate treaties, and acquire tribal land. Delegation photography was a routine part of any state visit, and many portrait studios, including that of Bell, profited from the business. For centuries the Otoe had lived near the mouth of the Platte River in Nebraska, but by 1881 the Department of Indian Affairs had forced the tribe to sell their lands and move to the Indian Territory in what is now Noble and Pawnee counties, Oklahoma. According to tribal history, in October 1881, with their possessions loaded onto seventy wagons, the Otoe walked across the state of Kansas to their new home in northern Oklahoma, where they live today.
