shares her inspiration:
| "Several
years ago I had a dream that was so powerful and intense
that it has remained locked in my memory. The dream took
place on the small reservation where I was raised, the
little old two-story house was just as I remembered it
and inside were my Mother and Dad and a friend of theirs.
I was probably nine years old. It was a spring-like day
and I went outside to play where landscaping was hard
gumbo and tumbleweeds. As I sat in the dirt across from
the kitchen window I looked up to the sky and high above
I could see a circle of birds flying, I continued to watch
and as they came down closer they turned into a circle
of eagles. Mesmerized, I continued to watch and without
warning one by one they dropped to the ground encircling
me, no longer eagles but Indian Angels with strong eagle
like wings. In my dream I could look at the faces of these
angels and they were people I knew but upon waking from
the dream I have never been allowed to recall who they
were to this day. I have shared this experience with many
people because it was such a beautiful dream and has remained
so strong in my heart…. some say it was a vision quest,
I am humbled by that. My translation of this dream is
that the gift of Angel-making has been sent to me." |
