My Photo

Hopi Indian Reservation, Arizona

  • Swhp704
    The Hopi have restrictions of where and what you can photograph. My guide made sure that I did not take pictures of anything taboo. I was introduced to kachina carvers, pointed out ancient pictographs on canyon walls and showed me his cornfield during a drought year. Photography was allowed for all these subjects.

Native American Medicine

  • Pppf114
    Modern and traditional medicine men along with powerful potions from yellow bee pollen to Corn Mountain. Medicine men use their special abilities to channel medicine, or power, to influence events as well as to heal the sick. In many cases, the word "medicine" is interchangeable with the word "sacred".

Hi, A very interesting story , where can one find information on purchasing beadwork and information on when pow-wows are being held as I am planning a trip to the U.S. and would love to attend one, Happy Trails from Australia.

Angel Wynn

Enjoy your trip to the US. Most pow wows are during the summer months of July and August depending on where you are traveling. There are many vendors at the pow wows with some beadwork which generally have the best prices available. You can also find beadwork for sale at Native American trading posts and museum gift shops.
I sometimes will purchase a beaded item on E-Bay.
Good luck and again enjoy your trip to Indian Country

The moccasins look nice and the beads on their attire really are something. Its nice to know that there are still people like them that exist.

I had a friend in Texas who's ancestors were American natives. He is proud to be there descendant.

Thank you for explaining a little about beadwork. Your photographs are beautiful - so many memorable images. I especially like the Native American Medicine collection since it shows both modern and traditional medicine and the continuity of care.
