Aperture 139 - Spring 1995
Strong Hearts: Native American Visions and Voices
For “Strong Hearts,” Aperture invited contemporary American Indian photographers throughout the United States and Canada to contribute work, hoping to generate a lively debate on photography’s contribution to perceptions of Native cultures. The scope and diversity of their photographs—from intimate family portraits to expressionistic images of darkly emotional power—present a world apart from what most people imagine when they hear the words “Native American photography.”
