Artist Statement:
"The Monacan tribe is a state recognized tribe, located near Bear Mountain, in Amherst County, VA. They are one of the oldest groups of indigenous people still existing in their ancestral homeland. This man is doing a sacred dance, giving blessings and respect and gratitude to the ground on which he dances. I symbolized the richness of his thanks, and the riches of the land, by depicting a golden dust leaving his hand. A ritual practiced today at many indigenous gathers. Reference material taken at the Monacan gathering 2022."
