Summary:

"Through brilliant photographs, Marcia Keegan has recreated the sense of wonder and harmony between the Southwest Indians and nature". (Albuquerque Tribune)

Marcia Keegan's photographs of the Pueblo and Navajo Indians -- their land, their days, and their lives -- are awesome testimony to the richness of a way of being; they are images that open a window onto a breathtaking and singular world. Transliterations of authentic Indian chants provide a lyrical counterpoint to Keegan's moving pictorial record, which captures the sacred unity between the Southwest Indians' land and their way of life.
