America in 1812 Series - Miami Tribe

This guy was of Native descent. The actual colors on his face were yellow and green.

I really appreciate your comment about the processing. I tried hard to create an image that looks like it might be from the history books. I only wish this guy had more native blood. I am 1/4 Oneida Indian. In some ways I look native…other ways…not so much.

Thanks again.

Again thank you. I just thought you might enjoy my Strong & Proud Series

Thank you very much. There have been some wonderful comments on this photo so far. It really makes me feel good.

That means alot…really. The comments on this photo thus far have been super genuine…it really makes me feel good. I put so much of myself into everything from taking the shot to the processing. Each photo I interprete a different way.

Thank you so much!

Thank you very much. I am super pleased with how this turned out and the attention it is getting.

This guy took his reenacting very serious. Apparently he has been participating in the event for several years and often a crow favorite.

This guy is actually native. Several of the native reenactors were not native. I was a little disappointed but also impressed to know that there are some non-native people that have a genuine passion to not let people forget native people are a huge part of the US history.

It is too bad the US government does not acknowedge that more. Nothing against other races but to live in the USA and know there is Black History Month and Latino American Month is a little disappointing consider we the indigenous people of this land have to make up our own holidays and acknowledgements.

With out the Native people of this land there would be no USA. I am Oneida. The Oneida have fought along side the USA in every single war the US has been involved in. Including the wars that helped create the country.

Thanks for your genuine feedback.

Wow…that is a great comment!

Each time I processing a photo I try and think how I can enhance the thoughts I feel when I see the image.

I dont always know how I will process a photo while I take it. On the other hand there are times when I have a distinct idea in mind when I take the shot. This was not one of those times.

A tremendous comment..Thank you very much.
