An unprecedented insider account of the Nez Perce people from the famed chronicler of a lost America

One of the foremost documentary photographers working today, Hunter Barnes (born 1977) has an extraordinary ability to document aspects of culture and communities ignored by the mainstream and often misrepresented in the modern American narrative. This new clothbound edition is dedicated to his photographs of the Nez Perce tribe. Barnes spent four years with the Nimiipuu people, forming bonds of friendship and gaining trust before he began taking photographs. Shot in black and white, the photographs are beautiful and stark, his subjects unflinching in their gaze. "In these photos I have seen a world that continues to change. A traditional culture that has met a modern age. A century that has passed and a new world that rises." The first photographer to be invited into the tribe's inner circle since Edward S. Curtis, Barnes' work is a vital document of a people.

Industry Reviews

In 2004, American photographer Hunter Barnes received an invitation to the Tamkaliks Powwow in Wallowa, Oregon, after a friend suggested he visit and see if it might be possible to document the tribe. [...] Over the next four years, Barnes would create a series of 56 photographs in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington documenting the Tamkaliks and Looking Glass Powwows, and the Lapwai and Confederated Tribes of Colville Reservations..."--Miss Rosen "Huck"
Barnes does not turn away from the challenges that face the Nez Perce people, but his photographs celebrate the bigger picture--their character and their magic--Julia Vitale "Airmail"
Barnes, a photographer, was welcomed into the close-knit Lapwai Idaho reservation from 2004 to 2008 to document its ways. These black-and-white portraits and other images capture lives at the intersection of tradition and modernity.--Deb Amlen "New York Times: Book Review"
