The people, their art, the land, the way of life: a slideshow
The photos are beautiful, but their words, their way of thinking, and their choices in life are so much more. You can order the book here.
Great video! This just made me smile after a week here in North Carolina dealing with the hurricane. Nice reminder of these wonderful people!
