This book is a unique chronicle of the lives of over one hundred "Living Treasures;" elders honored by the Living Treasures program. These individuals from the villages, pueblos, and cities of New Mexico live with simplicity, spirit, and grace. Their quiet accomplishments are inspirations to all, and bring focus to the finest in humanity. Joanne Rijmes' sensitive portraits, richly reproduced in duotone, capture the essence of these people. The text, by award-winning authors Karen Nilsson Brandt and Sharon Niederman, provides previously unpublished oral history. Images and text create a vivid composite portrait of a civic spirited generation--valuable role models for individuals, communities and our youth.
