Photographer Edward Curtis on Piegan tribe lodging: "To have compared the exact and demanding courtesies of everyday life in a Piegan tipi with that of the most exalted brown-stone fronted home would have put the dwellers in them to shame. . . . It was difficult if not impossible for the white guest to conform to rules of usage and etiquette."
—Text from the National Geographic book Edward S. Curtis: Coming to Light, 2001
