Description
Book SynopsisWiles returns to Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation, whose people she so gracefully portrayed in words and photographs in
Arapaho Journeys. She continues her journey of discovery here, photographing the lives of contemporary Northern Arapaho people and listening to their stories that map the many roads to being Arapaho.
Trade ReviewNo work has had such deep access to lived Arapaho culture and recent history, nor opened voices from community members that are this direct and authentic. With its rich photographic images and narratives,
The Arapaho Way is an important effort to bridge a cultural gap between Indian and non-Indian communities throughout the West and beyond."" - Jeffrey D. Anderson, author of
Arapaho Women's Quillwork: Motion, Life, and Creativity ""
The Arapaho Way presents a nuanced portrayal of Northern Plains Native people that stands apart from the stereotypical - sometimes exotic and often negative - depictions that are a part of the public imagination."" - Emma I. Hansen, author of
Plains Indian Buffalo Cultures: Art from the Paul Dyck Collection
