Reservation life as captured by the young residents
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This book is a collection of photos taken on Indian reservations around the country. They depict aspects of the lives of the residents that we hear about but never see. You can see some of the features of the poverty on the reservations, but most of what you see is children at play having a lot of fun. The Shooting Back Project puts cameras in the hands of children so what is unique about these photos is that children took them. The quality is higher than you would expect from children whose ages are measured in the lower double digits. They show us the world of a reservation child from the perspective of a reservation child. All of the photos are in black and white, yet they reveal a colorful side of life on the reservations of America. They empower the photographers and send a strong message to the viewer.
