| Summary: |
"The project can be concisely explained as a representation of an experiential and phenotypic spectrum of the Native college student, and exists as a collection of portraits paired with excerpts from interviews done with the students immediately before taking their portraits. My goal was to illustrate to Natives and non-Natives that there is not just one way to think or look Native. To me, the portraits and interviews combined are experiential portraits."--Introduction. Aiming to dispel the stereotypical image of Natives, with interview excerpts included alongside the present-day portraits of Native college students, O'Leary's collection allows for discussion about identity anxiety, tribal issues, moments of pride, and the change students want to effect through their education. The combination of black-and-white portraits and interview excerpts provides a poignant look at the faces of Native students, proving that stereotypes fall short in the faces of Native diversity. --From publisher description. |
