San Diego, California, USA - May 12, 2019: The San Diego American Indian Health Center’s Annual Pow Wow in Balboa Park is a cultural event that showcases the heritage and traditions of American Indians. I spent the afternoon making portraits and I was rewarded with this storytelling image of this female Aztec dancer from Danza Azteca Calpulli Mexihca.

I have photographed this gentlemen many times at local Pow Wows (I believe his name is Steve) I first photographed him many years ago at this Pow Wow. When I approached him to ask him to take his photo, he inquired as to what camera I was using. I said Canon. He replied that he didn’t like to be shot with a Canon since many of his ancestors were “shot” by a canon. We had a great laugh and I ended up with a nice portrait compliments of a Canon...camera that is.

A Native American grandfather talking to his young grandson tells the boy he has two wolves inside of him struggling with each other. The first is the wolf of peace, love and kindness. The other wolf is fear, greed and hatred. "Which wolf will win, grandfather?" asks the young boy. "Whichever one I feed," is the reply. -Native American Proverb
