Work
Work
Susanne Page created documentary photographs of the Hopi and Diné (Navajo) people going about their daily lives. In 1974, she was invited by Hopi elders to photograph the Hopi people and the plants and animals that sustain their way of life. The Hopi elders had seen her photographs of the Diné people which convinced them of her seriousness as a documentary photographer. Consequently she was the first photographer, since the early 20th century to be authorized by the tribe to do so. Page's work has been exhibited and published widely. Fifty of her photographs are held in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of the American Indian.
