GREAT MOTHER OF THE EARTH, GREAT GRANDMOTHER

This is a copy of a photo that hung on a relative's wall. I'm not sure which relative. My mom was the next to last child of twelve. Her mother was not proud of her heritage. She even ran the indian agents off that tried to give her her headright. She was one of the younger of this lady's children. My grandmother would not speak of her heritage, she did, however confide in her darker children that she remembered being in a tent with bullets whizzing through it. That's good enough for me. My mother is proud of her heritage and tried to get as much information as she could. She only met her grandmother once, that was when the grandmother passed on. It is a photograph of the actual picture that was on the wall, it has been copied and passed on many times. That's why I cleaned out the background. The picture at some point became wrinkled. But its still beautiful. My mother believes in curses as the people did where she is from. I worked on this thing for at least 16 hours. And, when she was happy with it, she let me print it. I've been wanting to do it for a long time. I guess she figured I had learned enough and let me do her right! There is a fade effect I would rather do, but maybe she figures I will never learn. I like being a storyteller! My sister has been studying the family geneology, I don't know how far she got with it. She did find many interesting things though. I don't know the whole truth, so I won't even try tonite!
