Charles Hallowell Stephens (1864 -1940) American illustrator, art teacher, collector of Native American artifacts, and amateur anthropologist.
His work with the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana is probably
his greatest achievement. From 1893 through 1930, Charles H. Stephens
collected more than 100 Blackfeet artifacts and related material. In
1891, he spent three months living with the Blackfeet tribe. He
photographed and painted their daily life, and kept a journal of
sketches detailing artifacts, rituals, and individual sketches. It is
an impressive collection, revealing early life on the Reservation.
Named the Charles H. Stephens Collection, it is now housed at the
University of Pennsylvania Museum.
