Image Statement: During the covid-19 epidemic a group of young women, experienced Jingle Dress dancers from Utah, began traveling the United States presenting honor dances to heal the nation. I was fortunate to experience their dance in June 2021 at the Duwamish Long House in West Seattle, Washington--my first public venture in over a year. This is my gift back to them for their efforts and the joy it gave me. Learn more at https://www.tapahe.com/project
