    The Lander Library Friends Association and the Lander Library present the next presentation in the Crossroads Mural Speaker Series on Monday, Nov. 18th at 5:30pm in the Lander Library’s Carnegie room.

    Author and photographer, Sara Wiles will be discussing her newest book and photographs titled: The Arapaho Way: Continuity and Change on the Wind River Reservation. There will also be a book signing at the event.

    In The Arapaho Way, Wiles returns to Wyoming’s Wind River Indian Reservation, whose people she so gracefully portrayed in words and photographs in Arapaho Journeys (2011). She continues her journey of discovery here, photographing the lives of contemporary Northern Arapaho people and listening to their stories that map the many roads to being Arapaho.

    In more than 100 pictures, taken over the course of thirty-five years, and Wiles’s accompanying essays, the history of individuals and their culture unfold, revealing a continuity, as well as breaks in the circle. -University of Oklahoma Press
