Juliana


At last we are reading about a person known as a “nondescript” who was not a Negro. I noticed that none of the people in the movie “Freaks” was a Negro so obviously not all of the people in this trade were of that ethnicity. The article speaks her as coming from Mexico and posits that she was a Digger Indian.  Did this group of aboriginals really exist or, as with many of the other statements in her exhibition pamphlet was this hype?
