Lee Moorhouse (Thomas Leander Moorhouse, 28. února 1850 – 1. června 1926) z Pendletonu v Oregonu, Spojené státy americké, byl americký fotograf a indiánský agent pro indiánskou rezervaci Umatilla. Od roku 1888 do roku 1916 vytvořil více než 9 000 snímků dokumentujících městský, venkovský a indiánský život v Kolumbijské pánvi, a zejména v okrese Umatilla v Oregonu.
Život
Thomas Leander Moorhouse se narodil v Marion County, Iowa a v roce 1861 jako dítě cestoval se svou rodinou po Oregonské stezce do Walla Walla ve Washingtonu. V dospělosti pracoval jako horník, geodet, rančer, obchodník, občanský vůdce, realitní operátor a prodavač pojištění. Kromě toho, že působil jako indiánský agent, sloužil v letech 1879 až 1883 jako asistent generálního adjutanta třetí brigády milice státu Oregon.[1]
Fotografie
Moorhouse se považoval za amatérského fotografa, ale v 80. letech 19. století se tento koníček stával stále důležitější součástí jeho života. Znal se s Waltrem S. Bowmanem, profesionálním fotografem v Pendeltonu.[2]
Na rozdíl od většiny amatérských fotografů té doby Moorhouse pracoval a ovládal těžkopádné a náročné vybavení profesionálů, včetně suchých skleněných želatinových negativů, velkých fotoaparátů a stativu. Kritici se domnívají, že jeho práce odráží bystré oko, hluboké uznání historie a intenzivní zájem o jeho svět, který přesahoval rámec amatérů. Zvláštní význam mají Moorhousovy fotografie původních obyvatel Ameriky Cayusů, kmenů Walla Walla a Umatilla.
Stejně jako ostatní západní američtí fotografové tohoto období dokumentoval Moorhouse vzhled, kostýmy a životní styl původních obyvatel. Mnohé z těchto charakteristik měly pod západním kulturním tlakem zmizet. Stejně jako ostatní fotografové té doby zobrazoval romantický pohled na své subjekty, inscenoval záběry tak, aby odrážely jejich osobní názory, a přitom pozměňoval detaily a vytvářel nepřesné snímky. V Moorhousově případě existují významné rozdíly mezi dvěma širokými kategoriemi jeho práce s domorodými lidmi. Jeho studiové portréty členů kmene, které byly za jeho života považovány za jeho nejlepší dílo, jsou strnule pózované a pravděpodobně neautentické. Záznamy naznačují, že Moorhouse zásoboval portrétované z rozsáhlé sbírky indiánských artefaktů, oblečením, které nosili, a nářadím, které drželi. Naproti tomu jeho obrazy domorodého života v rezervaci Umatilla přesně odrážejí domorodé oblečení a obydlí té doby. Dokumentují také některé ze sociálních a kulturních proměn, které domorodé národy prožívaly během tohoto období kulturního konfliktu. Moorhouseovy fotografie byly nedávno rozpoznány jako cenné pro vyvolání vzpomínek na minulost mezi kmenovými staršími Umatilla, přičemž tyto příběhy se přidaly do archivu původní kultury.
Moorhouse také zachytil významnou paletu obrázků o vývoji Oregonského území. Šest set pohledů na život na ranči, zejména na pěstování pšenice, dokumentuje farmáře, jejich domovy, potulné dělníky a jejich práci na polích. Jsou tam také tisíce obrázků maloměsta a komunitního života; podniky, školy, kostely a různé formy dopravy, jako jsou lokomotivy a automobily. Společenské funkce a zábava se objevují na jeho fotografiích cirkusů, průvodů, představení Divokého západu a především Pendleton Roundup v Pendletonu v Oregonu.
Moorhouse vydal stručnou knihu fotografií a tvořil pohlednice s jeho prací. Prodalo se možná až 100 000 pohlednic.
Tři sta jeho fotografií zakoupil americký úřad pro americkou etnologii ve 30. letech 20. století. Sedm tisíc obrázků od Moorhousea je udržováno ve speciálních sbírkách a univerzitních archivech knihoven University of Oregon; Moorhouseova rodina darovala fotografie v roce 1948. Dalších 1400 snímků bylo předáno knihovně okresu Umatilla v roce 1958.

But the boyscrambled up and ran after her, and his frightenedcry stayed her feet. He caught her garments andclung to them, and although the Thunder called, shecould not obey; her vow had been made before sheknew the strength of a mothers love. Gathering theboy within her arms, she hid herself and him fromthe presence of the gods. The storm passed, and themother and child returned to the lodge, but fear hadtaken possession of her; she watched her son witheyes in which terror and love struggled for the mastery. One day as the little one played beside a ripplingbrook, laughing and singing in his glee, suddenly theclouds gathered, the flashing lightning sent beast andbird to cover, and drove the mother out to find herchild.

The oldman was too feeble to go out alone any longer,so he told the boys they must travel alone. There-fore they decided to go alone. In the morning they found a porcupine trail.Following this downstream, they came to a largeriver running full of ice. At the edge of the waterthe track disappeared. The brothers leaped on acake of ice and floated downstream. Again theylanded and looked for food, when they found a fishhad been left on the ice, and saw many sled tracks.They followed these. They then heard a faint cry-ing. Going on cautiously, they saw a porcupinecarrying a load. They asked it why it cried. Whenit did not answer, they clubbed it dead, cooked it,and ate it.

That was her guard. The boypicked up two large stones and ran, still crying,toward the lodge. The animal ran at the boy, butthe boy spat all over one of the stones. When thehorse came close, he threw the stone behind him.Then the horse stopped to stamp on the stone and theboy ran on. He was almost in reach of the lodgewhen he threw the other stone. The horse stoppedto stamp on that, and the boy reached the lodge andjumped in. Very soon the girl entered. She knew him atonce and called him by name — Iwapnep Atswitki,Cry-because-he-had-no-wife. She talked to him andasked him if he wanted a bath. So she built a fire,heated water, and prepared him a bath. When hehad taken the bath he became of mans size.

elp him. Together Coyote and Musk-rat pulled the great beaver to land. Then they cutup Wishpoosh. They threw the pieces over the land. From the head of Wishpoosh, Coyote made theNez Perces, great in council. From the arms hemade the Cayuses, powerful with the bow and war-club. From the legs he made the Klickitats, famousrunners. From the ribs he made the Yakimas.From the belly he made the Chinooks, short, fatpeople, with big stomachs. Coyote at last had onlythe hair and blood of Wishpoosh. These he flungfar up the valley to the east. They became the SnakeRiver Indians, a tribe of war and blood. Thus Coyote created the tribes. Then he re-turned up the Columbia. Now in making the Chinooks and the coast tribes,Coyote forgot to give them any mouth. The godEcahni, travelling along, noticed this. Then Ecahnicalled the tribes to him and with a stone knife gaveeach one a mouth. But for fun Ecahni cut themcrooked. He made some mouths very big. Thus the coast tribes have not perfect mouths. 104
