The Grand Canyon is aptly named -- a national park, and national treasure that inspires everyone who visits and experiences it. It is a constant, sobering realization that what we see as national parks -- land that "belongs" to the people of the United States -- was lived in and cared for by people who were here long before Europeans arrived on these shores.
It's such a sensitive issue that many of us prefer to pretend that it does not exist, and indeed, there is little that we can do to repair or go back to the past. Stillness captures this haunting sense of the past, the present, and the future, through the eyes of women whose lineage goes back much further than the First Daughters of the Revolution.
