Over the next decade, she traveled six hundred thousand miles across fifty states--from Seminole country (now known as the Everglades) to Inuit territory (now known as the Bering Sea)--to meet, interview, and photograph hundreds of Indigenous people. The body of work Wilbur created serves to counteract the one-dimensional and archaic stereotypes of Native people in mainstream media and offers justice to the richness, diversity, and lived experiences of Indian Country. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe culmination of this decade-long art and storytelling endeavor, \u003ci\u003eProject 562 \u003c\/i\u003eis a peerless, sweeping, and moving love letter to Indigenous Americans, containing hundreds of stunning portraits and compelling personal narratives of contemporary Native people--all photographed in clothing, poses, and locations of their choosing. Their narratives touch on personal and cultural identity as well as issues of media representation, sovereignty, faith, family, the protection of sacred sites, subsistence living, traditional knowledge-keeping, land stewardship, language preservation, advocacy, education, the arts, and more. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA vital contribution from an incomparable artist, \u003ci\u003eProject 562 \u003c\/i\u003einspires, educates, and truly changes the way we see Native America.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMatika Wilbur\u003c\/b\u003e is a critically acclaimed social documentarian and photographer from the Swinomish and Tulalip peoples of coastal Washington.
