| Artist Statement Marilyn Angel Wynn As a photographer and filmmaker I shoot primarily from the heart. Subject matters very dear to me are traditional cultures and historic preservation. My profession involves photographing Native America while traveling throughout remnants of Indian Country scattered across the US and parts of Canada. Meeting up with genuine people, I learn specifics of each tribe's unique culture while site-seeing awesome territory that most of the time looks as it did hundreds of years ago. I fund all my own trips by selling these images to educational publishers so long as the uses are sensitive and positive portrayals. Any fees earned are shared 50/50 with my native models as it takes both of us to create these beautiful pictures. I want to give back to Native people as they have given back to us, expecting nothing in return. American Indian people should no longer be stereotyped. On occasion they will dress in fine regalia for special events, celebrations or to get a nice picture taken. Like most Americans today, they dress in factory made clothing,hunt and gather at Walmart, dwell in modern homes and although historically great horsemen not all know how to ride a horse. Just like some of you don't know how to drive a wagon as your ancestors had done. While visiting a reservation today you most likely will find a quiet community with a cultural center, school playgrounds, a college campus, historic landmarks and perhaps a casino with a golf course. Tribal members continue to fight bureaucracy today for their lands, water, natural resources and traditional rights. Armed with my camera equipment and personality, I'm inspired to document homelands and lifestyles. My craft confirms an extraordinary life-purpose. My most passionate goal has been to take over the path where historically well-known photographer Edward S. Curtis had come to a close. To continue documenting history that is being made today. My collective goal is to create pleasant pictures, to instill some awareness with timeless images and a hope that onlookers will walk away with a new found compassion for Native American Culture.
