I can see I am going to have difficulty categorizing some of my videos, as more and more of them belong in a "Spiritual" category. I have chosen to place this one in "Arts & Animation"   more...as it does showcase some wonderful art.

In seeking to remedy the gaps in my own historical education, and learn more about the indigenous peoples of North America, I found a wonderful website called "Native American Church Art" (http://nacart.com). The majority of the paintings in this simple slideshow video are borrowed from that website. I encourage you to visit and see more wonderful art. The spoken part comes from the classic Folkways recording (vinyl pops and all!) called "The Kiowa Peyote Meeting" a series of recordings made by Harry Smith and originally released as a box set with commentary in 1973. I have always found this particular passage deeply moving.

The Native American Church was founded in the 1890's by Quanah Parker, and became a formal entity in 1918. Parker's image is shown at the beginning and the end of this video.

I spent part of my youth in a remote area of Northern Manitoba, where indigenous peoples, primarily Woodland Cree, outnumbered caucasions by a significant margin. My best friend at the time was an Ojibway girl whose family had moved to the area from Southern Ontario. Although not always understanding their ways, I have always enjoyed friendships with First Nations individuals, and they have my respect. It's my wish to eventually return to the North and settle there permanently.

I initially encountered difficulty with the making of this video, and had to abandon its original form. I will only say that my hand was guided in creating the resulting video in its present form. I hope you enjoy it.  less
