Between 1976 and 1993 Nancy Warren visited the Jicarilla Apache
reservation in northern New Mexico numerous times. She was
permitted to photograph their daily activities and various
celebrations. Warren's ninety halftone photographs capture the
Jicarilla lifestyles and customs, revealing an understanding of
their culture and beliefs. While most sacred ceremonies could not
be photographed, the important tribal foot race is well documented.
Veronica Tiller provides an essay about the reservation, its
history, and its resources to familiarize potential visitors with
the area.
"The reservation offers the outdoor enthusiast and tourist some
of the most spectacular vacation, sightseeing, sports, hunting, and
fishing opportunities in the southwestern United States. For the
sportsman, hunting on the reservation is considered some of the
best in the United Sates, drawing hunters and sightseers worldwide.
Five major big game (elk and deer) migration corridors cross the
reservation. Game includes elk, black bear, mountain lion, turkey,
and Canadian geese. In addition, seven of the tribe's fifteen
mountain lakes are stocked with rainbow, brown, and cutthroat
trout. Fishing is permitted at Dulce, Enbom, Hayden, Horse, La
Jara, Mundo, and Stone Lakes, and the Navajo River. The tribe
welcomes all visitors, but it requires that they abide by
guidelines and restrictions intended to protect and preserve
natural resources."--from Veronica Tiller's essay
