Julian Lachiondo sits on top of his horse in Hemmett, Idaho near the sheep herding ranch that he worked on. Julian was born in Ibarrengelu, Spain in 1908. When he was in eight grade, he left Spain to join his father in Shoshone, Idaho. He immigrated by ship to New York, then took a train to Denver and then Idaho. He first worked for Giraud Ranch in Shoshone, Idaho and later worked another Basque immigrant, Pete Gandiaga’s ranch in Hemmett. This was where he met his wife Lydia, who would become his wife. 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.
