Portraits of contemporary Onondaga people of the Iroquois
This is an extraordinary collection of 78 moving and culturally sensitive photographs, with an historically illustrative accompanying text, of members of the Onondaga Nation of the People of the Longhouse, the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois). Emanating from each individual or group portrait is a feeling of dignity, beauty, courage, resolve, and hope which mirror the long history of native people's struggles to retain and pass on to their children and grandchildren their rich heritage of living on the earth with wisdom and responsibility. Developed as a project with the full cooperation of the subjects themselves,and photographed in the old Longhouse on the Onondaga Nation Territory near Syracuse, NY in 1991/92, this is a remarkable and beautiful visual and historical record of survival.
