Mother Earth, Father Sky
"Beauty and harmony are the heart of the Indian way of life on
the
southwestern deserts. The sun and the sky represents the father figure.
Sunlight and rain, descending from the sky, are viewed as life-giving
substances that promote fertility within the body of the mother earth.
But this beauty and harmony are in danger of being destroyed. This book
attempts to show the relationship with nature that Pueblo and Navajo
Indians now enjoy but which their children may loose if their mystic
landscape
becomes victim to continued pollution and scarring. Through the photographs
I
have tried to recreate the sense of wonder and harmony with nature which
is
the integral part of Indian life."
Marcia Keegan is a well-known
photographer and writer who lives in Santa Fe, she has been closely
associated with Southwest Indians for the past 25 years, photographing
in all 19 New Mexico Pueblos and in Navajo country.
