About
"First Families, a one-of-a-kind book, draws on a recently compiled collection of 1,500 images donated by California Indians from their private family photo albums especially for this project. Enlivened by personal stories and deepened by carefully researched historic and cultural asides, it presents a richly varied, warmly nuanced, constantly surprising portrait of California's oldest communities. Truthful and intimate, First Families challenges stereotypes as it records, recent history from an insider's perspective and pays heartfelt tribute to the survival of native people to this day."--Jacket.
