Customer Reviews

Superb photographs -- all of them rich of dreams.

I am a Norwegian journalist/photographer and I have just by chance discovered the impressive book PEOPLE OF LEGEND. Superb photographs -- all of them rich of dreams and poesi. I myself have always dreamed of visiting Arizona and especially the sacred mountains of my childhood heroes, the Western Apache -- and today centuries later -- I share a universal sadness for what happened to the indigenous people. For me their care and understanding of the nature/environment has been an important inspiration in my participation to preserve rivers and mountains in my homeland Norway. At this moment we are trying to save the last river system in south of Norway -- producing super 35 movie -- a documentary -- and hopefully a photoexebition next summer. There are a lot of people around who care for mother earth and this book is a valuable contribution.

A thoughtful tribute.

"People of Legend is a thoughtful tribute -- heartfelt and clearheaded. It tells a history, in words and pictures, that we all need to know." -American Photo Magazine

A stunning visual display.

Contemporary Native American culture is revealed by a photojournalist who spent over 20 years exploring the Southwest region. Enjoy a stunning visual display which packs in contemporary photos of modern tribes and peoples: a blend of cultural history and art book. -Reviewer's Bookwatch.

An important book.

"People of Legend" is a journey through the past and a reminder that the spiritual culture of indigenous people of the United States is an important part of the present. There are lessons to be learned from everyone in this important book. -Gamma-Liaison
