Chief David Salmon

The late traditional Athabascan Chief at the Midnight Sun Intertribal Powwow in 2004

This morning I placed my buffalo hide upon the ground, filled my abalone shell with a mixture of White Sage, Alaskan Sage, Sweet Grass, Cedar and some tobacco.  I said prayers for Brad Brooks, because he now walks in the spirit world.  I said prayers for his family, because he’s no longer on the path they follow.  I hope the Creator meets him along the red road to ease his burden and his families pain along the path.  A bit of medicine was taken to help my prayers reach where they belong. The smoke was good and the eagle feather fanned it toward heaven.  While sitting there in silence, I heard the call of an Osprey and I knew my prayers were heard.

Alaska Humming birds

I sure wish I could see this many humming birds on my feeders, I would try to get them to feed out of my hands.
