Danny Lyon was the first staff photographer for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,one of the most confrontational groups fighting for Civil Rights in the 1960s. His photographs bearwitness to some of the most instrumental and tumultuous events of the Civil Rights Movement.

In this exhibition, Lyon opens our eyes to the lives of those living in the Indian Nations:


"...Four generations after Crazy Horse and his band of eight hundred Oglala Sioux surrendered, hispeople are still here...Today, Native Americans occupy only two percent of United States land area. Under the reservation system, unique to this country, native peoples live in areas that range fromland trusts as small as one hundred acres in Michigan to a reservation of more than one million acresheld by the Sioux nation...Almost all these reservations are located west of the Mississippi, and onthem the Indian nations consider themselves sovereign." (Danny Lyon, 1998).
