Kenji
Kawano and Adriel Heisey have not flinched in their resolve to show us
their view of the Diné world, no matter how complex and incongruous
its parts may seem.
I have known these
men professionally and personally for many years, and attest to their
efforts with special conviction.
I see a fascinating
dynamic in the juxtaposition of their photographs. Kenji Kawano's
portraits permit us to look into the eyes and lives of his subjects,
and are informal and revealing.
Adriel Heisey, on the
other hand, transports us to see the larger landscape that both
inspires and is marked by Diné lifeways. Both men bring us beauty,
humility, and appreciation of People and Land.
From the foreword
