We Are Still Here
Many indigenous cultures that once existed are now part of past history.
However, many of those cultures are indeed alive; examples of
resilience and strength. Camille Seaman, an award-winning photographer
and Native American, was troubled by her childhood experiences hearing
her culture and her people described in the past tense. As she says,
"we are still here". With her camera and her purpose, she documents the
beauty and self-identity of indigenous people through portraiture. Use
her essay as a gateway of discovery into the fascinating ways people the
world over are "telling our own stories".
