ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Edward Rodriguez was born in Del Rio, Texas and raised in Houston, Texas. He currently resides in Crosby, Texas, just outside of Houston to the east.

He graduated from the Texas Academy of Art in 1970 and after a stint in art, went to work for a photo lab’s art department. After studying under a Master of Photography, Edward went on to become a professional photographer.

Edward writes “Very early in life I became fascinated in Native American culture, reading and researching literature. I have traveled to states from New Mexico to Montana and all the states in between that the Native Americans called home. Just to visit and see the beautiful lands they were forced to abandon and to learn and better understand their culture. After seeing this majestic part of this country you can understand why they refused to give up the lands they called home.”
