On Thursday, April 18, Bemidji State University and the American Indian Resource Center unveiled a permanent installation of Native American portraits taken by local photographer Neil Hakkerup at the dawn of the 20th century. The installation features 22 large prints and several smaller prints of Native people from the Leech Lake and Red Lake nations, taken between 1900-1915, including photographs of the city’s namesake, Chief Bemidji. The collection, which also includes original glass photo reproduction plates, has been permanently donated to the BSU Foundation for permanent display in the American Indian Resource Center by David and Kathy Cooper.Full Story Photos
