About this book

Native peoples of the American Southwest who know themselves by names that in their own language means The People are fiercely dedicated to preserving their lands their families and their ethnicity. Despite the difficulties they face...loss of land and water rights poverty attempts at assimilation...they remain emotionally connected to their past. These feelings keep traditions alive and dynamic. For nearly a decade Stephen Trimble visited the fifty modern Indian nations throughout the American Southwest listening and photographing. In this book he seamlessly weaves together these words and photographs to present an unparalleled picture of The People as they have lived for generations...and as they live today.
