Bold Women

Hulleah Tsinhnahjinnie met and photographed twelve Native American and Hawaiian Indigenous women who have boldly created social change and transformation. These four portraits from the series feature land rights activists the Dann sisters, 23rd United States Poet Laureate and musician Joy Harjo, Hawaiian dance teacher Pualani Kanahele, and director of the Spiderwoman Theatre Muriel Miguel. The photographs in this series were widely distributed as posters with an accompanying study guide to schools and community centers throughout the United States in 1997.
