Native American Indian Procession - 2004

Native American Indians from all over the world marched from the mall (near the National Museum of the American Indian (newest Smithsonian Institute museum).

This was an historical event, because it was the first time that over hundreds of tribes gathered together in Washington, D.C. in the history of the United States of America. Representatives from 500 tribes were in attendance.

I must add that I am proud to have witnessed this event with my own eyes. I think I worked my camera non-stop for about 2 hours. I did not get to sit back and enjoy what was going on. I did not even get a chance to nod at my camera. :-) But it was worth it once I got home and opened every image. It was like Christmas time. :-)

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I enjoyed creating them.

Very important, sensible and to my idea, necessary reportage. The 2 hour work was wothed to show us the sometimes so forgoten native comunity. A pitie that this haddent been the idea since Columbus reached america untill a few years back.

Very nice job,

Mikel

PS: I'm voting...

American Indians were the owner of this New World. They should be paid more attention to.

April, thank you very much for this great gallery.

When I was in DC 2 weeks ago I already knew there'd be such a festival.

It's so good to live in the capital. I envy you!!!!!
