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".

Thank you for your comment. I too see a huge difference on reservations today. For instance, new schools and playgrounds for the children with new senior centers with traditional architect. American Indian college campus's, cultural centers and impressive tribal buildings. I'm sure the casino's contribute a great part to this change. Income producing industries such as tribally owned businesses are also a major contributor for reservation jobs.

What you do is perfect!! I'd also like to ravel throughout India in order to join both cultures because in that way I can know more about their customs and also taking a lot photos in order to be spread them in my city.
