Rain

Native Expressions from the American Southwest

Ann Marshall, Author

"Rain" explores the synergetic relationship between rain and the indigenous peoples of the arid and semi-arid Southwest. It takes an approach to Native American art by tying it directly to the life force of the tribes of the Southwest. It is a glimpse into the arts of southwestern tribes and a shimmering portrait of the desert's oldest miracle.
