Indigenous People's Day
DR. HENRIETTA MANN
Cheyenne
On this Indigenous People’s Day, we are featuring Matika Wilbur’s recent publication Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America, published by Ten Speed Press in 2023. Wilbur (b. 1984) is a visual storyteller and member of the Swinomish and Tulalip peoples of coastal Washington. She holds a degree from the Brooks Institute of Photography alongside a teaching certificate that has shaped her style of educating through narrative portraits.
Project 562: Changing the Way We See Native America, a book born from a documentary project of the same name, resolves to share contemporary Native issues and culture. In 2012 Wilbur set out from Seattle to visit and photograph all 562 plus Native American sovereign territories in the United States.
Wilbur’s engagement with the communities she visited resulted in the creation of hundreds of dynamic portraits and documentation of conversations about “tribal sovereignty, self-determination, wellness, recovery from historical trauma, decolonization of the mind, and revitalization of culture.” She refers to her portraiture approach as “an indigenous photography method” that includes several hours and sometimes days of interaction with the participants, an exchange of energy and gifts, and asking sitters to choose their portrait location. The outcome is a stunning collection of Native narratives and portraits.

We acknowledge that in Milwaukee we live and work on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk, and Menominee homelands along the southwest shores of Michigami, part of North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee, and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida, and Mohican nations remain present.

Photographer Matika Wilbur was tired of seeing one-dimensional, insipid, degrading depictions of Native Americans in mainstream media and popular culture. So in 2012, Wilbur, who is of Swinomish and Tulalip descent, decided to create her own catalog of images.

happy indigenous people’s day! this term at college, i’m taking a course on native american literature. it is a very cool course and i just wanted to share with you some very cool authors i’ve read and people i’ve heard about so far. i have been very fortunate to be able to access a lot of information not readily available to everyone, but i’m going to try to include pieces everyone can read
matika wilbur and her project 562. there is a very lovely tedtalk called “surviving disappearance, re-Imagining & humanizing native peoples” where matika talks about the project and shows her photographs. i was deeply moved by it.
joy harjo and her poetry. joy harjo is the first native american poet laureate of the usa, which is beyond amazing. two poems of hers that i enjoyed are “an american sunrise” and “rabbit is up to tricks.” here is also a pbs video about joy harjo, if you’re interested in learning more about her.
john milton oskison, who was the first native american to graduate stanford university. oskison wrote “the problem with old harjo” which i greatly enjoyed reading last week.
simon ortiz. ortiz is one of the authors included in the native american renaissance. many in my class where moved by “my father’s song.”
layli long soldier. i just read her poem “38″ today and i loved it a lot.
#misc.#i get a lot of new readings every week so if any of this interests you or you want to know more i will do my best to help you!#also if you are someone who is indigenous please please please feel free to add to this#resources.

There’s enough poverty in Indigenous representation. What our children need is an opportunity to see themselves differently, to see themselves as powerful, beautiful, and resilient. There were major battles fought for us to live in this moment in our traditional territories. As for the colonizers, it’s hard to say what they will take away from this work. We’re fighting a major narrative shift—recent studies revealed 64% of third-year undergraduate students believe Native Americans are extinct. My work is a small effort to help them imagine their world differently and to connect with the indigenous narrative of the place they’re occupying. Not all of them will read about this work or take an interest in indigenous intelligence, but maybe one or two will, and we’d all benefit from that shift.
