leaving a comment because i can't leave more likes. yoyur culture is beautiful and i hope that time preserves it, protects it, showcases it, but more than that, give it space to flourish.

Wow

[@t.l.duncan1021]

Hey...that's MY name but female....toni! Nice surprise. Great dance!

[@patriciaholloway]

Tony, his beautiful wife Violet and talented brother Kevin came to my city some years back and performed. Their grace and talent made quite the impression upon me and my daughters. If you haven't heard Tony's music from Estun-bah , do yourself a favor and have a listen. The songs written for Violet are mesmerizing. I was lucky enough to be able to purchase two cd's from Tony. Such a lovely family. Glad to see he's still active in dance. I wish them nothing but happiness.

[@RivLoveshine]

The Heartbeat Of Mother Earth is a fantastic album. It features Ken Duncan, David Brush, and James Peshlakai. Great stuff. And apparently Ken and David are both a part of the Yellowbird Indian Dancers. I've been trying to find more of David's music, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Shame.

[@dhutsell6210]

Beautiful dance and beautiful Sedona I’m pretty sure

[@beverlyfitzgerald7675]

Hello, May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED." God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, & the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) & stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
