Críticas:

"Filling a void in the visual history of New Mexico, this book shows the extraordinary work of Lee Marmon, a master of multiple genres of photography."-- Miguel A. Gandert, photographer of Hermanitos Comanchitos: Indo-Hispano Rituals of Captivity and Redemption "Through words as well as historical and original photographs, [Marmon] tells the story of his people, from their contradictory origin stories, to their adaptation of the conquistadors' Catholic faith, to their work on the railroad and the pueblo's subsequent modernization."--Cowboys & Indians "The Laguna [Pueblo] photos . . . capture a disappearing world, one busily adjusting to modern influences."--New Mexico Magazine "An unprecedented collection of portraits and landscapes with an extraordinary tribute of stories and personal recollections."--Southwest Books of the Year

Reseña del editor:

The distinguished American Indian photographer Lee Marmon has documented over sixty years of Laguna history: its people, customs, and cultural changes. Here more than one hundred of Marmon's photos showcase his talents while highlighting the cohesive, adaptive, and independent character of the Laguna people. Along with Marmon's own oral history of the tribe and his family photos dating back to 1872, Tom Corbett presents archival images and historical research, making this the most complete published history of any southwestern pueblo. Marmon and Corbett also interviewed noted tribal elders and oral historians regarding customs, religious practices, and events of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The resulting narrative provides a fascinating story of survival through severe natural and man-made adversities, including droughts, plagues, marauding tribes, and cultural invasion. Through it all, Laguna has preserved its culture and retained sovereign powers over the pueblo and its territory.
