HelpOver four decades I've created thousands of images of Native Americans, on reservations, in their homes, at powwows and all other aspects of their daily lives in modern America. Many were done as photo documentaries, others as a project I named Traditional Subjects, consisting of photos and portraits of those working to preserve their culture and traditions.
