To subscribe to the Vernal Express Call 789-3511 r Express Writer The photography exhibit that is on display at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park in Vernal is more than just pictures by Native American people taken by photographer Bruce Hucko of Moab. "The exhibit," said Hucko is about "debunking stereotypes and learning from history.". Hucko suggests that his project could be a model for any community. "There are so many stories that should be documented and shared," he said. And with so much technology, tech-nology, it is easier than ever. Hucko took a path that would direct the rest of his: llifa(e6rft978 hen he went with others toeach a photography workshop, sponsored spon-sored by Polaroid, to kids in Montezuma Creek, Utah, on an Navajo Indian Rservation. "Serendipity called and, for the first time, I listened. I went to do a two-week workshop and stayed for 10 years," said Hucko. After the workshop was over, Hucko approached the principal of the elementary school he had been associated with and asked if there were any job positions available. He was immediately offered a job as a kindergarten aide. After three years, Hucko became a full-time artist-in-residence in Montezuma Creek through the Utah Arts Council and taught art and photography classes. Not one to be bored, Hucko also thought of an idea to publish pub-lish the childrens' art in a book. The book was titled "A rainbow at night," a phrase that stuck withflucko after ,one of his student's stu-dent's had asked him if he had ever seen a rainbow at night. The art by his students went on a traveling exhibit and the book was a success. . v - ..

Consumer (information) After leaving the reservation, reserva-tion, Hucko was offered a job at the Wheelwright Museum in Santa Fe, N.M., one of the museums that had hosted the "Rainbow at Night" exhibit. What Hucko called serendipity seren-dipity also took him back to Montezuma Creek to complete his latest project, the one on display at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park. After seeing several books that portrayed places as they were decades ago and compared them with what they looked like today, Hucko began wondering won-dering about the people in the Navajo community he had spent ten years with and decided decid-ed to do a project about the "then and now" of his former students. He returned to the reservation and tracked down many of the students he had worked with. He photographed them and recorded their statements state-ments about life. Part of the exhibit includes actual audio from his former students, many who have children of their own now. Hucko titled the exhibit, "A gesture of kinship" because the idea of "kin" is such a pervasive per-vasive idea in the Navajo culture. cul-ture. The Navajo people always look at "how you are related. Whether it is your relation to the earth or to each other," said Hucko. It is evident that Hucko has a deep understanding and respect for the Navajo culture. Said Hucko, "To live among the Navajo is to live in a world woven of layered images that reflect the contradictions and harmonies of a people trying to maintain cultural and personal person-al identity while forces of the dominant society seek to erode what it means to be Navajo. As a non-Indian photographer, I've attempted to portray my thoughts towards the constantly con-stantly changing world of the Navajo with respect, dignity and a bit of humor. "My photographs are not about Navajo culture. I view them as expressions of my thoughts and personal relationships. relation-ships. These photographs were not done on visits, but were made when I came home to be among friends." "The interesting thing about the exhibit," said one visitor, "is the connection you feel with the people in the photographs. photo-graphs. As you read the subjects' sub-jects' comments you realize that even though you've never met them, you have a connection connec-tion to them." The exhibit was sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank who dofffited money to help pay for shipping costs for the prints and the accommodations for Hucko. Small museums often can't afford to host an exhibit like this. Mary Beth Bennis-Smith, the Curator of Education at the Utah Field House museum said, "I saw the opening of it at the Utah Museum of Natural History and when Ralphredson Filsred (one of the subjects in the exhibit) did a blessing with his brother and father to open the exhibit, I thought it would be very appropriate appro-priate to bring to our museum. It was really a dream at the time to bring it here, but we are delighted that through the sponsorship of Wells Fargo we are able to bring it to the community." com-munity." The exhibit will be displayed in the gallery at the Utah Field House of Natural History State Park in Vernal until Aug. 31, 2006. Voters, Thank you for your support!
