"'SCIIENCE 85' called the audio-visual presentation of 'Our Voices, Our Land' at The Heard Museum, Phoenix, 'Awesome.' This program, an emotional experience that has captured the hearts of viewers, is an almost overwhelming collage of faces, landscape, and words that brings to life Southwest Indian people. Native Americans have applauded it. Now, to reach a much wider audience, the show has been distilled by its creators in this book. The Indian people themselves do the speaking here. Their voices come from ten tribes in Arizona and northern New Mexico: elders, teenagers, medicine women, artists, tribal chairmen, teachers; a cross section of contemporary Indian people of the Southwest. They speak about everything of concern in their lives: the past, the present, and the future. In doing so, they eloquently communicate their complexity, vitality, and grace. From Monument Valley to the saguaro cacti of the Sonoran Desert, from the Pueblo villages around Santa Fe to the Grand Canyon. Carefully chosen black-and-white photos provide contrast and historical perspective.--Amazon.com.
