The sun, the moon, the seasons, our Arapaho way of life,"" writes
foreworder Jordan Dresser. ""When you look around, you see circles
everywhere. And that includes the lens Sara Wiles uses to capture
these intimate moments of our Arapaho journeys."" In The Arapaho
Way, Wiles returns to Wyoming's Wind River Indian Reservation,
whose people she so gracefully portrayed in words and photographs
in Arapaho Journeys (2011). She continues her journey of discovery
here, photographing the lives of contemporary Northern Arapaho
people and listening to their stories that map the many roads to
being Arapaho. In more than 100 pictures, taken over the course of
thirty-five years, and Wiles's accompanying essays, the history of
individuals and their culture unfold, revealing a continuity, as
well as breaks in the circle. Mixing traditional ways with new
ideas - Catholicism, ranching, cowboying, school learning,
activism, quilting, beadwork, teaching, family life - the people of
Wind River open a rich world to Wiles and her readers. These are
people like Helen Cedartree, who artfully combines Arapaho ways
with the teaching of the mission boarding schools she once
attended; like the Underwood family, who live off the land as
gardeners and farmers and value family and hard work above
everything; and like Ryan Gambler and Fred Armajo, whose love of
horses and ranching keep them close to home. And there are others
who have ventured into the non-Indian world, people like James
Large, who brings home tenets of Indian activism learned in Denver.
There are also, inevitably, visions of violence and loss as The
Arapaho Way depicts the full life of the Wind River Indian
Reservation, from the traditional wisdom of the elder to the most
forward-looking youth, from the outer reaches of an ancient culture
to the last-minute challenges of an ever-changing world.
