~ An eagle soars above silent and unassuming, drawn to the rythm of the drum. Slowly noticed by the people dancing below, awe quietly spreads throughout as each pause in silent breath. Deep within the currents of her wings she once carried songs and prayers of our ancestors from a time of distant past. It is our time, our songs, our prayers... welcome to our celebration.
...It is a good day to dance! ~
What a great way to explore the Aboriginal Culture over the weekend - don't miss this opportunity!
