ON THE COVER: A sacred photograph from the California desert preserved through the efforts of the Native American Land Conservancy, a 501 (c)(3) non-profit dedicated to protecting important Native American cultural properties and perpetuating ancestral knowledge rooted in these landscapes. Shown here in false color using decorrelation stretch, a technique used by NASA for space exploration, the analysis reveals faded and virtually invisible details lost to time and wear.
