Photographer John Willis has long been aware of the exploitation
that can occur when photographers enter communities as outsiders.
So, in 1992, when he first visited the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation in South Dakota, he assured elders of the Oglala Lakota
nation that he would not exhibit any of his images. Over time,
however, Willis earned the respect and trust of the community, and
the elders urged him to show his work and create this book so that
others might better understand Lakota land and life. Willis has
returned to the reservation every year since 1992, and he has come
to grasp and interpret this place as few others have. Views from
the Reservation, first published to widespread acclaim in 2010 and
now presented in an updated and expanded edition, remains a gift-a
wopila-that is meant to open the minds, eyes, and hearts of
outsiders to the life, culture, and conditions of the Oglala Lakota
people. Along with his insightful and accomplished images, Willis
has enlisted other voices to offer a more complete story: Lakota
elders and high school students from the Pine Ridge Reservation
offer powerful poems; writer Kent Nerburn contributes an original
essay; Emil Her Many Horses, a curator at the National Museum of
the American Indian, tells his story of growing up on the rez;
Kevin Gover, Director of the National Museum of the American
Indian, apologizes for the government's abuse of native people;
Oglala Lakota artist Dwayne Wilcox shares his provocative ledger
drawings; and members of the Reddest family present their amazing
photo collection. Views from the Reservation is a masterful book
that has been praised by the Lakota people for its honesty, spirit,
and depth. It offers the chance for native peoples and outsiders
alike to appreciate and respect the Pine Ridge Reservation from
contemporary and historical points of view, with art and
storytelling leading the way.
