Taken during extended visits 1991-2006 in Mexico with the Tarahumara, Huichol, Chamulan and Lacandon Maya, in the United States with the Hopi, the Wabanaki and the Ute and in Africa with the San Bushmen of the Kalahari. Presented in the exhibition as "Family Albums" to show that indeed "We are Family. We are One."

Connie has dedicated her life to sharing the insights she gleaned from her relationship with the Indigenous people. Explore her books, films and talks HERE.

My relationship with the people you will find in the lovely albums made by Mayan artisans is a familial one. Bonds of trust developed, built over time and through shared experiences.

I believe that when we come together with the indigenous peoples as equals, as family, and we each open our hearts and our minds to the other, the melding of our gifts will bring a new perspective that is invisible at this time.

To me this new perspective will allow us to see the path to true unity, peace and freedom..
