A feeding flock of Snow Geese takes flight after being scared from the cornfield at Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico. Often it’s a coyote that spooks them or other predators. While not equal in flock size to the morning fly out, these “fright flights” are an impressive spectacle in and of themselves.

I was commissioned to do this piece for an upcoming exhibtion here in Atlanta entitled “The Zodiac Show” – which will feature 12 different artists depicting their astrological signs. / Rather than portray Taurus the traditional way as a bull or Minotaur, I chose instead to focus on the earthy qualities of the sign and it’s ruling planetary influence – Venus.

Once dominating a vast area that extended as far as the Great Plains, the Apache were gradually pushed down by the Sioux and Comanche into their homeland of what is now New Mexico (Arizona was part of New Mexico until 1863). Various tribes; Lipan, Chiricahua, Mescalero, Jicarilla, and Kiowa-Apache, all withdrew into their present locations in Arizona and New Mexico. One of the most important holy beings for Apaches is White-Painted Woman, also known as Changing Woman or White Shell Woman. Her sons, Killer of Enemies and Child Born of Water, triumphed over the evils of the world personified as monsters, making the world safe for humans. The Mountain Spirits ensure the well-being of the people by protecting them from epidemic diseases and enemies. The Mountain Spirit Dancers or Crown Dancers “become” these sacred beings in the same way that the Hopi who dance specific katsinam become those katsina spirits. The Western Apache call them the gaan while the Eastern Apache know them as gaa’he. Embodying the Mountain Spirits, they dance at night, bringing the spiritual world into physical manifestation. Their heads crowned with wooden slat headdresses, four Mountain Spirit Dancers and a clown wield their wooden swords as they dance around the fire.— The Apache were fiercely independent survivalists and the last people to surrender to the domination of the white man in North America, a fight that lasted forty years. They owned nothing and everything. They did as they pleased and bowed to no man… They were mighty warriors who depended on success in raiding for wealth and honor. To their families they were kind and gentle, but they could be unbelievably cruel to their enemies…

The Buffalo was one of the most respected animals among American Indians. Its spirit was praised before every hunt with a tribal ritual dance. The buffalo supplied virtually everything that the Indians needed to stay alive; food, clothing, tools, and housing. These noble beasts were virtually wiped out by unscrupulous persons attempting to eradicate the primary food supply of the Indian. The featured warrior is Kiowa Apache, Ah Keah Boat, known as “Two Hatchet.”

While pondering the meaning of why we exist I was drawn to create this work to Honor All My Relations,. / The work is of the past the present and the future that is who we are. When we say All My Relations we (the people) refer to those who are and have been and those who will be. I do so Honor All My Relations and as always walk the Red Path toward the Blue Path so that some day I may join All My Relations and become one with those who have gone before me. For I Am an APACHE and of the People of Turtle Island.

...Nii nahii’maa at’e, ya nahiika’ee at’e. / The earth is our Mother, the sky is our Father. ...I wanted to portray the soft side of the Apache Nation & with this beautiful Photo Tom Broderick IPA .. sent me of his beloved Mother ‘Rosa’ ... who is an Aztec Apache woman, it was easy …Apache woman ..In physical appearance the Apache vary greatly, but are rather above the medium height. They are good talkers, are not readily deceived, and are honest in protecting property placed in their care. Being a nomadic people the women attained high skill in making baskets. Their dwellings were shelters of brush, which were easily erected by the women and were well adapted to their arid environment and constant shifting…a first experimental collaboration. featured in ‘True Potential’ .

FEATURED in IMAGEWRITING GROUP / FEATURED in ETHNIC ART Back in the 80’s when I lived in a suburb of Vancouver BC, I did a series of drawings for a long distance truck driver who had a real love for what he called “cowboy art” and the history of the native tribes of North America. It piqued my interest as well at the time I must admit. / This little girl I drew from a very old photo…a Jingle Dancer I believe she was. / Starting in 1880, the Jicarilla Apaches started negotiations for a reservation, and though promises were made by the federal government, the Jicarilla Apaches didn’t have a reservation of their own until Feb. 11, 1887. President Grover Cleaveland gave the executive order. / The Jicarilla Apache Indian Reservation is located within two northern New Mexico counties: Rio Arriba County and Sandoval County / The reservation has a land area of 3,532.864 km² (1,364.046 sq mi) and had a population of 2,755 as of the 2000 census. Its capital is Dulce which comprises over 95 percent of the reservation’s population, near the extreme north end. / As a point of interest, the Jicarilla Band of Apache were the single band that refused to cooperate with the United States military in trying to locate Geronimo. /
