I did this painting in very thick acrylics. I thought of the Fancy Dance competition with all their regalia then decided to use color theory in their dance outfits so the battle is just not in the dance but in the colors.

acrylic on canvas – 5ftx4ft (cropped) Capturing a Native Pow-Wow Dancer in his movement and regalia. This is a Fancy Dance where they can improvise their ‘steps’ as long as they keep in time with the drums and end exactly when they do. These are huge competitions with thousands present and thousands at stake for the prize money.

Tim Scullion: A Native American dancer has a melancholy look as she demonstrates a traditional tribal dance. Powhatan Pow-wow, Mattaponin Reservation, VA. / Canon EOS Rebel / 70-300 mm lens “The Native American Powwow” (Published in the book “Troubled Times Companion” by the University of Virginia, copyright 2009) Trouble, pain and difficulty are conditions that tend to isolate people; making them feel disconnected from everyone and everything around them. Spirituality is a way of connecting oneself to something that gives a person’s life meaning and purpose. This connection can be to the Creator, to nature, to family and friends, or to a sense of belonging to a cause, a culture or a religion. While some may achieve spirituality by reaching out to make one of these connections, Native Americans hold an event that makes all of these connections: The Powwow. / At my first powwow I discovered the Native American community coming together; some from a few miles away and others from hundreds of miles. The sense of community is felt by Native Americans of many different tribes as well as those gathering to observe. The heartbeat of the powwow is the drums; large drums several feet in diameter, and each drum is played by six to eight men. I was shocked to see these teams of drummers wearing t-shirts, jeans, tennis shoes, and even sunglasses. I quickly discovered that these people were not stuck in the 19th century, but were a modern people who melded the past with the present—preserving a tradition but not living in the past. The singing was a call and response chant that was timeless; the listener could close his or her eyes and travel to centuries past with the music. The dancers, however, wore traditional costumes and danced as their ancestors had done over eons past. The costumes were very colorful and often ornately decorated with a very important symbol: The feather. Out of all the feathers used in the native regalia, the eagle’s feathers are held in the highest esteem, for the eagle is considered a messenger to God, or in Native American words, the Great Spirit. There were many different dancers as there were many different styles of dance. One of the most spiritual was a dance to honor those who had passed away in the last year. With each meditative step you could see the dancer trying to connect with the memory of lost friends or family; and the observer realizes that no one is exempt from loss—and a connection is made. As the dancers reach out to the memories of lost loved ones they reach out to each and every observer to overshadow that feeling of loss by connecting to memories, by connecting to others who have experienced loss, and by connecting to a sense of spirituality; whether it be an existentialist sense of altruism and shared experience, or a belief in a Creator that allows the spirit to continue living after the body has passed on. For those that are participating as well as those who are just observing, the isolation one may feel gives way to a connection to something greater than just watching a dance; this connection encompasses the timelessness and resilience of the human spirit.

This photograph was taken at the Wa:k Pow Wow held annually at the San Xavier del Bac Mission in Tucson, Arizona. Drummers, dancers and singers come from all over the country to participate. The backgrounds in these pow wow photos are always very distracting, so I’m experimenting with different ways to get rid of them. I used the radial blur in Photoshop Elements on this one.
