Description: "Indian Country is a major work of photojournalism: a beautiful, affecting, and candid portrait of Native Americans today. Photographer and author Gwendolen Cates has been going to Indian Country since she was a child. For this book, she traveled all over the country photographing people of many different tribes and nations and the lands in which they live: from the Navajo of the Southwest to the Tlingit of Alaska, from the Seneca in New York State to the Miccosukee in Florida, from Yurok to Cheyenne, Ojibwe to Hualapai. And her subjects are not mute: drawn from her conversations with them, their words, on subjects including identity, history, language, motherhood, spirituality, art, the rez, the environment, and more, are a powerful complement to the images."--BOOK JACKET.
