Blessed to be a part of Indigenous Adornment community


Venaya and her 'family' at Hozhoni Days Powwow
in Durango, CO


In my reflection of the past year I have been overwhelmed by the goodness of people. My family, and my friends have and continually bless my life in every way.

I have gained the most amazing family in my friends from Durango, Colorado. Because of them I have been reminded of my cultural blessings and the abundance of knowledge that we share. Becuase of this group of unique individuals I cherish the smallest details of life in the 21st century in the life, lives of Indigenous women.

Through the dialogue and discussions in the concepts of Indigenous Adornment, our relationships and respect for each of us is heightened, such ties become links that will never be broken.

I thank Creator God for His blessings in my friends: Clancey, Aretha, Jackie, Sarah and her beautiful daughter. They have made my life more beauty-ful.

Big River Cree - Jingle Dress Side Step song



Happy New Year!

I have a blessing to share.

This link will take you the most beauty-ful of song performed by a Cree powwow drum group.

The top of my new year's resolution list is that I will dance more in the powwow circle.
I am a Jingle Dress dancer and this song is one that is created to showcase the dance style called
'Side Step.'

Please follow link. Be blessed by it and enjoy!
