Enter into the vivid worlds of Native photography, as framed by generations of First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and Native American photographers themselves. Presenting over 150 photographs of, by, and for Indigenous people, “In Our Hands” welcomes all to see through the lens held by Native photographers.

Cara Romero is a unique storyteller who tells stories through the lens of her camera. Her work exemplifies the theme of the 20th Annual Indigenous Film and Arts Festival: The Good Life. Some of her photos celebrate The Good Life, some depict the aftermath of attacks on it.

Curated by artist  Jaune Quick-to-See Smith (Citizen of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Nation), this exhibition brings together works by an intergenerational group of nearly 50 living Native artists practicing across the United States. Their powerful expressions reflect the diversity of Native American individual, regional, and cultural identities. At the same time, these works share a worldview informed by thousands of years of reverence, study, and concern for the land.
