One Voice Rising is a memoir by Ute healer, elder, and historian Clifford Duncan, as told to Anglo writer, Linda Sillitoe. Duncan (1933–2014) was an inspiring leader and a powerful medicine man, and he was, as Sillitoe wrote, “simultaneously one of the most bi-cultural and traditional American Indians in the West.” Duncan here covers both personal and tribal history during a crucial period in the tribe’s development. His discussions with Sillitoe offer a unique look at individual and societal issues, including the Native American Church, powwows and tribal celebrations, and interactions with the larger world. George Janecek’s photographs of Clifford Duncan and his world expand the impact of Duncan’s words.

The life of Josie Bassett was nothing short of a female pioneer adventure. "'I drove my first husband, Jim McKnight, out of the house at the point of a gun and told him never to come back. 'Let's just say that some men are harder to get rid of than others."
So said Josephine Bassett McKnight Ranney Williams Wells Morris to a young reporter in 1960. She was a four-time divorcee whose fifth husband died of natural causes....though persistent rumors say otherwise. She raised two sons and lived an adventurous but frugal life at her homestead on Cub Creek, in western Utah.

Memories are the invisible threads connecting us with our past. From the moment a child is born to the reflections of deep history carved on canyon walls, memories describe the aspects of our lives that otherwise defy explanation, an intangible whisper of awareness written on the lips of time. The history of the american Southwest is vividly painted and pecked with memories, with stories, and with narratives of people and place, odysseys carved into tortuous landscapes of heartbreaking beauty and heat-pressed geometry. This history, in the form or rock art, allows us to see, feel, and experience these threads of memory, binding us ever closer to the past an dour place in this landscape.
