One woman's mission to photograph every Native American tribe in the US; Guardian, 9/7/15

Hilal Isler, Guardian; One woman's mission to photograph every Native American tribe in the US:

"hree years ago, Matika Wilbur sold almost everything she owned, left behind her apartment in Seattle, and set out on the open road. The former high school teacher had one goal: to photograph members of each federally recognized Native American tribe in the United States.

Wilbur’s photographs are mostly black and white. She shoots on a Canon EOS 7D digital, and a Mamiya film camera. When she finishes Project 562 (named for the number of federally recognized tribes at the time Wilbur began her work), she plans to compile the photographs and share them with the public through various publications, exhibitions and curricular material...

Today, Native Americans comprise a little under 2% of the US population or, according to the latest Census data, about 5.2 million people."
