This Native American Images gallery is intended to
be a special place for you. It includes fifty images
created by NAI editor Joe Zeller.
Why do we say it is special? For two reasons.
First it will take you through many images of Native
American places. From ancient cliff homes and
blistering white sand, to relatively new missions (only 400
years old, or so) that came along with th
e
Franciscan Fathers and the Spanish. Expedition
takes you to places from Mesa Verde, in Colorado, to Gila
Cliffs hundreds of miles to the south. Expedition
will give you the chance to see the influence of the
Spanish by visiting the massive old mission churches that
were built to convert Native American people to
Christianity, and the simple mission at Chimayo that is
revered today by Spanish and Native American people
alike. You will see a Pueblo Kiva nestled next to a
massive and magnificent Catholic mission.
Secondly you will see, as you click on one of the fifty
thumbnails, that an oversized image will appear on your
screen. We did this for a reason. The panoramic
land, the expansive ruins and the powerful mission churches
are diminished if they are sized to a small image. Native
American Images would like to give you the opportunity
to experience what you would feel if you were visiting the
sites yourself.
The sites are much larger than a simple photograph.
Our oversized images give you the opportunity to virtually
experience their size, scope and powerful beauty by using
your scroll bars to go from the blue sky, through the
forest, to the bottom of a deep canyon.
To give you an idea of what you will experience in Expedition
click on the image of the Santuario de Chimayo above
where you will get a true feeling of the beauty of this
simple place.
We hope that you will get a sense and appreciation of the
immensity, harshness and beauty of Native American lands in
the Southwest as you visit Expeditions. The
places that The People call home.
