“Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective” ~ Shane Balkowitsch

“Northern Plains Native Americans: A Modern Wet Plate Perspective” is by far my most important work. My life’s work. My goal is to capture 1000 Native Americans over the 20 years. I have met so many fabulous people on this journey and I am forming bonds and friendships that will last me throughout my life. It is important for me to not only document their heritage but to give respect to a people that that have been mistreated in so many ways. I consider this an honor and I will do everything that I can to put my friends in the best possible light. ~ Shane Balkowitsch
