NATIVE

Pre-colonialism, the Picuris were the largest Native American tribe in Northern New Mexico. Now, less than 300 remain.

With government regulations on their land, misuse of their water supply, and a disappearing language, these photographs acknowledge the grief of their past.

Today, as they pioneer new frontiers in renewable energy and hold dear to their ancestry, these photographs also pay homage to the pride of their present.

The story of their future—yet to be told.

In Loving Memory

“It’s hard to be a Native American in this 21st century.”
