Trail of Tears Pow Wow
Oil / Spirit Guide
This weekend (Aug. 29 thru Sept. 1, 2008) marks both the official end of summer AND the celebration of the 62nd Powwow of the Shinnecock / (pronounced Shin-E-Cock) Indian Nation. Located at Southampton, Long Island , NY reservation, it’s drummers, singers, and dancers come from across the USA & beyond to gather , reminisce, sing, eat, camp together and sell/buy Indian made goods. It is a deeply felt spiritual time, for this is when I return to the land of one set of my ancestors to stroll the land, greet old friends, smell the smoke, photograph, eat fry bread, and hear the drummers drum and singers sing. It is a time for remembrance. / ~~ This image was FEATURED in Spirit of the Native Indian-October 2008 / ~ It has been viewed in excess of 450 times. Thank you EVER so much.

I wanted to get back to my roots a little bit. I used a photo from a local powwow at my home town, for reference. His pose stuck in my mind, standing there waiting for the music to start, calm but ready to spring into dance at a moments notice.
