Abstract:
5.6. Branded Man, Keith Sunbear is Oglala and Teton Lakota. Born 08/02/50 in Wounded Knee, Keith Sun Bear grew up on the Pine Ridge Resercation. After graduating from high school, he served as an M.P. in the US Army in Germany, 1970 through 1972. In 1973 Keith was under siege with AIM (American Indian Movement) at Wounded Knee. He also served eight years in prison for homicide. The ink on his body tells the story of how he perceives his place in the world. Plagued by bouts of drug and alcohol abuse, Keith struggles to remain connected to the spiritual ways of the Lakota. Through he has participated in the Hamblecha and the Inipi, he is not a Sun Dancer. He told me he did not know why he did not Sun Dance, other than he was not certain he was prepared spiritually.

14. Kevin Pourier, a buffalo horn carver and his wife Valerie (next photo), both attended my summer 2003 photography workshop, they live in a trailer on Kevin's father's ranch also in the Medicine Root district of the reservation. Kevin is many things as well as an artist, but he is to me an artist of sensitive vision and deep awareness of himself and his role in his culture. In the spring of 2004 Kevin and Valerie were awarded the prestigious SWAIA (South West American Indian Artist) Fellowship.

Abstract:
2.3 These next two images at the home of Gerald Ice in Wounded Knee depict the preparations for the Hamblecha (Vision Quest). The process begins with the Inipi (sweat lodge) purification ceremonies before the participants go up on the hill where they will sit in pits dug in the ground with nothing but the clothes on their backs, with no food or water. They will smoke the Chanupa (pipe), sing, pray and meditate for four days and nights. At the end, spiritual leader Gerald Ice will gather those who have made the quest and lead them back to camp for another round of Inipi (purification sweat lodges). When this is completed there will be a feast beef soup, fried bread, Wasna, a pemmican comprised of ground buffalo jerky, corn and fat. There will be choke cherry or buffalo berry soup and coffee.
