Lee Howard Marmon was a self-taught photographer from Laguna Pueblo whose photographs grace books, magazines, galleries, private collections and museums around the world – including the Smithsonian.
His images of Native Americans, many taken on the Laguna reservation, helped to chronicle life in the community where he grew up, the blue-eyed, independent and spirited child of a mixed Native and non-Native American marriage, according to those who knew him well.
Marmon, 95, died March 31 from natural causes at a veterans home in Albuquerque.

He got his first camera, an inexpensive Kodak, from his parents’ trading post on Laguna Pueblo. He began snapping pictures along Route 66 near Laguna, including images of vehicle crashes that he sold to insurance companies and local newspapers, according to his daughter Gigi Pilcher, who lives in Alaska.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.- The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center reopened.
The pandemic forced the closure, which lasted more than a year.
Visitors will notice differences. Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout, plexiglass dividers were installed in the gift shop and social distancing measures are being utilized in the center s restaurant.
Dr. Beverlee McClure says over the last year they were able to adapt to the times, and were able to expand their mission. During our closure, we worked on our virtual programming which had a global outreach and we also worked really hard to make sure that when we did open it was a safe environment for our employees as well as our guest, she said.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) â Native American leaders told U.S. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland they see her as a âformidable guardianâ and steward of their interests on April 6 during the Pueblo womanâs first official trip to her home state, an emotional visit that focused on pandemic relief and underscored the significance of her confirmation.
Dozens of tribal leaders gathered in the courtyard of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque for a discussion with Haaland, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, New Mexico Indian Affairs Secretary Lynn Trujillo and members of the stateâs congressional delegation.
Tribal leaders told the group their prayers were answered when Haaland was chosen to head the Interior Department, which has broad authority over Native Americans. Haaland is the first-ever Native American cabinet secretary.
