Project 562 is a photographic documentary about the lives of Native Americans created by Matika Wilbur. In this project her goal is to take photos and gather stories from each federally recognized Indian tribe in the U.S. With these images and narratives she is aiming to educate the nation about Native Americans, get rid of stereotypical ideas about them, and express their voice in the community. Matika says, "Conversations about tribal sovereignty, self determination, wellness, recovery from historical trauma, and revitalization of culture will accompany the photos in captions, video, and audio recordings." In all of this information and pictures she is presenting in this moving project about Native Americans in the United States she hopes to bring cultures together, get rid of racism, and honor those who helped create this country.
