The author, Gwendolen Cates, is a photojournalist who traveled throughout the United States interviewing and photographing North American Indians. She shows how they live today. It is a fascinating book of stories and photographs. Indian Country is a major work of photojournalism: a beautiful, affecting, and candid portrait of Native Americans today. Gwendolen Cates has traveled all over the country photographing people of many different tribes and nations and the lands in which they live: from the Navajo of the Southwest to the Tlingit of Alaska, from the Seneca in New York State to the Miccosukee in Florida, from Yurok to Cheyenne, Ojibwe to Hualapai. And her subjects are not mute: drawn from her conversations with them, their words, on subjects including identity, history, language, motherhood, spirituality, art, the rez, the environment, and more, are a powerful complement to the images.
