Synopsis

This is an edited collection of essays coming out of sessions held at the Native American Art Studies Association Conference, Phoenix, 2005. The seven contributors focus on the far-reaching influences of photography on Native American communities, and the possibilities that it currently presents. The essays explore the values, or currencies, attributed to photographers by practitioners and institutions, be these Native artists, or museums, archives and anthropologists. The book includes over 60 photographs by named indigenous Native American photographers.
