Review Quotes: "In Through a Native Lens: American Indian Photography, art historian Nicole Dawn Strathman explores Indigenous photographers' involvement in capturing and documenting their own communities....Strathman's book will be an exceptional companion to anyone interested in Indigenous history, given its wealth of primary source material and details that, when in focus, display a new landscape of possibilities for learning and teaching the history of the United States and the survival of Indigenous people."--Journal of Arizona History
