Photo talk on Native Americans

Matika Wilbur takes up this mighty project to tour and cover the 562 natives tribes to capture their images and their own talk. It is an enjoyable reading documentary with her to understand and appreciate the first people of Turtle Island. History showed how they were treated by the Spanish and Americans. They come back strong as warrior to tell their story. On page 4: the only thing an American Indian has ever known is termination, relocation and assimilation. Page 254 shows the picture of Horseshoe Bend, the land belongs to Zuni, Ute, Hopi and Dine peoples who were displaced by the US government to make way for the national park. It is fun to see Kaeo Izon, a young man with arm tattoo with a Chinese word, dance. This book tells their own story It is an enjoyable reading to learn and respect the First peoples of Turtle Island.
