Sitting Bull war ein wichtiger Anführer der Sioux-Indianer und forcierte deren Widerstand Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts gegen die Landnahme amerikanischer Siedler und deren militärische Unterstützung. Er war ein Medizinmann und auch einer der mächtigsten Kriegshäuptlinge der Sioux. In zuletzt genannter Funktion wurde er weltberühmt, vor allem durch sein Wirken bei der Schlacht am Little Bighorn von 1876.
An der strategischen Schlachtführung waren neben ihm auch weitere Kriegshäuptlinge beteiligt, wie beispielsweise Crazy Horse und Big Foot. Sie leiteten die Krieger der Stämme der Sioux, Cheyenne und Arapaho an, die vereint das 7. Kavallerie-Regiment unter Oberstleutnant George A. Custer am Little Big Horn vernichtend schlugen. Dies und der Tod Custers war die größte Niederlage der US-Armee während der Indianerkriege.
Do not regret growing older - It is a privilege denied to many.
Consider the advice from your elders : not because they are always right but because of the wisdom they have gleaned from being wrong. Two more below.
P.S I always listened to my Grandma, she was right about men ;-)

We took the 4 hour Thunderbird Lodge Tour. This included Kokopelli Cave. Petroglyph Rock, First Ruin, Junction Ruin, Ceremonial Cave, Ledge Ruin, Antelope House Ruin, and Stone Cow Ruin in Canyon del Muerto and the White House Ruin in Canyon De Chelly.
"On first traveling to Canyon de Chelly in 1937, only six years after its establishment as a national monument, Ansel Adams thought it to be the most beautiful place on earth. Astonished by the “beautiful, flowing patterns” of the sand dunes, he wrote to his wife, Virginia Best:
“The Canyon de Chelly exceeds anything I have imagined at any time!” Inspired to return again and again over his career to photograph its unique rock formations and colorful sandstone cliffs, Ansel wrote in his autobiography: “Some of my best photographs have been made in and around the rim of the canyon.”

Commenting on one of his images, Ansel Adams wrote:

“Only when I had completed the prints [of this image] months later did I realize why the subject had a familiar aspect: I had seen the remarkable photographer made by Timothy O’Sullivan in 1873, in an album of his original prints that I once possessed. I had stood unaware in almost the same spot of the canyon floor, about the same month and day, and at nearly the same time of day that O’Sullivan must have made his exposure, almost exactly sixty-nine years earlier.” Adams’ photograph differs from O’Sullivan’s; he included a triangle of sky in the upper right corner and used a filter to darken the sky and cliffs."
After visiting Antelope House Ruin in Canyon del Muerto, we came back to the junction and went southeasterly to White House Ruin. The White House Ruins are named for the distinctive white plaster that adorned a long wall in the upper dwelling.

Canyon de Chelly National Monument (/dəˈʃeɪ/ də-SHAY) was established on April 1, 1931, as a unit of the National Park Service. Located in northeastern Arizona, it is within the boundaries of the Navajo Nation and lies in the Four Corners region. Reflecting one of the longest continuously inhabited landscapes of North America, it preserves ruins of the indigenous tribes that lived in the area, from the Ancestral Puebloans (also known as the Anasazi) to the Navajo. The monument covers 83,840 acres (131 sq mi; 339 km2) and encompasses the floors and rims of the three major canyons: de Chelly, del Muerto, and Monument. These canyons were cut by streams with headwaters in the Chuska Mountains just to the east of the monument. None of the land is federally owned.[5] Canyon de Chelly is one of the most visited national monuments in the United States.[6]

Thank you very much for comments! I really appreciate it!!
According to Ojibwa (Chippewa) legend a mother bear and her two cubs, fleeing a forest fire, had to swim for miles across Lake Michigan. The cubs didn't make it. Mother Bear, a dark hill above the dunes awaits her cubs, which have become North and South Manitou islands offshore of the dunes.
Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore encompasses about 35 miles of shoreline in the NW Lower Peninsula of Michigan. This picture taken from the highest point above the "Dune Climb" looking northwest to Lake Michigan. The "ants" in the picture are hikers making the arduous trek from the Dune Climb to the dune bluffs of Lake Michigan. (Hope they brought water.)
Native American petroglyphs in a cave in Joshua Tree, probably indicating food and water sources. The “fresh paint” isn’t original - the faint originals were painted over by an unknown person at some point to make them more visible. A park placard refers to the overpainting as vandalism.
The image is based on The End of the Trail by James Earl Fraser. Although the artist retained the copyright to the image it was pirated my many for use on many decorative objects.
The original over life size plaster was created for the San Francisco Exposition of 1915. It languished, exposed to the element until 1968 when it was acquired by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum and restored.
Thank You Deep Dream Generator.
I have a deep appreciation for the Native Americans and this picture is meant with deep respect.
Wikipedia described this as, “a group of relocated Anasazi ruined cliff dwellings and a museum located just west of Colorado Springs”.
From my weekend shoot. My client and I concepted a shoot honoring her Cherokee / Lumbee heritage. The red on her face symbolizes sacred spirit and her Red Tail Hawk fan feathers are used for dancing in pow wows.
It was a wonderful shoot that I am glad to have been a part of.

First time shooting with Yanna yesterday. She suggested a native American indian theme, which I readily accepted, as I like to work to a style, and we combined our wardrobes to create the effects.
In the 1270's, the Mogollon People built these elaborate stone-walled structures in caves above cliff dweller creek. By the year 1300, the entire community abandoned this location and mysteriously vanished into history. It's likely they dispersed across the four corners region, possibly assimilating into other tribes.
