Since then , the number of federally recognized tribes has risen to 566 , and Wilbur is still crisscrossing the country , immersing herself in the worlds of Native Americans from Brooklyn to the far reaches of Alaska for her ongoing photo series , Project 562 . Matika Wilbur began touring the country in 2012 to photograph Native Americans . The project was inspired by a trip she took with her husband and their two children when they were young. Project 562 is on display at the Tacoma Art Museum until October 2014 . Wilbur hopes to turn the images into books and websites that share native culture .
