End of the Trail

End of the Trail

On November 4, 2008 (US election day), marks the 170th Anniversary of the “Trail of Tears”.
Symbolically and numerologically, both the date and the anniversary are representative to the number 8 – layed sideways the symbol of infinity – infinite possibilities, cosmic consciousness and Karma are the significance to this numbers’ symbology.

This photograph is of a beaver pelt that has been in our family for many years, in remembrance of our ancestors’ fate at the hands of ignorance, greed and separatism. This photograph and others’, in collaboration with my Tsalagi sister, coppertrees aka Medicine Woman of the Art will accompany a writing of remembrance for our Cherokee ancestors’ entitled the Beginning of the Trail, with hopes to enlighten the hearts and minds of our brothers and sisters walking the ‘Good Red Road’ or simply the path to light…

    Funny, I have been trying to photograph this pelt for over a year, never turning out, but yesterday apparently it was time…
    I look forward to ALL artworks anyone has to contribute to this ‘remembrance’ and awakening…

    if there should be a trail, it will be karmic for the pious, greedy, ignorant and superior egos…
