Blessings of the Nez Perce Indians




A rare event: Yesterday, Loren and I got to attend the dedication of a mural at the Nez Perce Reservation near Lewiston, Idaho. This very old Elder from the tribe was there and blessed the painting by ringing a bell and chanting a song in the ancient Nez Perce language. There is no way I can describe this...it was spiritual, connecting us all to the Earth's voice and beauty.
Then we went for a drive along the Snake River and Loren fished some on the Grande Rond River. This is in Hell's Canyon, but it is definitely GOD'S country! Spectacular views...
