Don James, a member of the Navajo Nation, spent a year on the reservation to document his tribe through photography.

James limited himself to $100 a week. He met Navajos from all walks of life and was welcomed into their homes.

“I wasn’t expecting the generosity,” James told Local iQ. “People were so kind.”

The result of his yearlong journey is the book One Nation, One Year. James is presenting the book at signings in New Mexico and Arizona, and his photos will be featured in an ongoing exhibit at the Gallup Cultural Center in Gallup, New Mexico, starting in August.
