About the Exhibit
Dugan Aguilar (Mountain Maidu/Pit River/Walker River Paiute), a man of few words, spoke his heart through his photography. His photos document—and contribute to—the perseverance and renewal of Native California’s living, vibrant cultures.
Aguilar documented Native cultures for over 40 years, exhibiting his work throughout the US and Europe. For 30 years, he was the staff photographer for the California Indian Basketweavers Association and the California Indian Storytellers Association. This traveling exhibition is provided in partnership with Exhibit Envoy, Heyday Books, and the Native Fund.
