  2. Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos - and for the link to more. I have always loved Native American artifacts and treasure my own modest collection.

  3. How impressive! These are beautiful photos. I didn't think the tee pee made it into the 1900's.

  4. These are beautiful. It reminds me of when my kids were young...and we took many field trips to Jamestown, VA as part of our home school. The 'homes' were quite different...but we would go back to our house and practice making Indian Teepees ... for the whole year.

  5. Gayle, Those are awesome and beautiful. They knew everything. Who were the savages? Bill's dream is to one day have his own teepee.

  9. at night....where the smoke billowing from the tepees
    feels like deep giant breaths releasing into the impossibly holy night. ecstasy.


    (i understand why you are torn on the secret life of birds. perhaps the ponds in my life are just far enough away to be a walk on the wild side...
    now if the ponds were here under my care and the fish were fish i feed and watched grow oh how different that would be!)
