Lydia Marie Gandiaga stands with her horse on her father’s ranch in Hammett, Idaho around 1935. She was the daughter of Pedro Gandiaga, a Basque immigrant who first came to Idaho in 1909 to herd sheep. Her mother came to Idaho in 1915 to work at a Basque boarding house in Mountain Home. Lydia was born in 1917 in Mountain Home and eventually met Julian Lachiondo, who came from Northern Spain to herd sheep for Lydia’s father. Lydia and Julian were the grandparents of Ada County Commissioner Diana Lachiondo. Photograph courtesy of the Lachiondo Family.
Angie Smith is a photographer and artist living in LA and Boise. She has worked as an editorial and commercial photographer for New York Times Magazine, the New Yorker, Time, and Oprah, and her installation, Stronger Shines the Light Inside, was recognized by the Obama Administration as one of the most impactful projects to integrate refugees in America. In March 2019, she returned to Idaho to conduct a portrait workshop with Boise’s refugee and immigrant communities. Using wheat paste, she installed these photographs, along with historic portraits, throughout the downtown area in celebration of the rich intersection of culture that is part of Boise’s past and present identity.
