EDITORS COMMENTS
This photogravure, titled "Shepherd of the Hills, Navajo" takes us back to the American Southwest in the early 1900s. The image showcases an aged Native American man, a proud member of the Navajo tribe. With his weathered face adorned with wrinkles that tell countless stories, he stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of his people. The elder is dressed in traditional attire, wearing a headband and multiple necklaces made from silver and other precious materials. These intricate pieces of jewelry reflect not only his personal style but also symbolize the deep connection between indigenous communities and their ancestral traditions. Photographer Roland Reed skillfully captures this moment during daytime outdoors, allowing us to appreciate every detail on this remarkable individual's face. The sepia tones add a touch of nostalgia to this vintage print, transporting us back to a bygone era when Native Americans were still fighting for their rights and recognition. As we gaze upon this photograph, it serves as a reminder of the resilience and strength exhibited by senior citizens within indigenous cultures. Their wisdom and experiences are invaluable treasures that should be cherished and respected. This image invites us to honor these elders who have dedicated their lives to preserving their heritage while inspiring future generations with their unwavering pride in being part of First Nations communities like the Navajo.
