Crow women

Adam Sings in the Timber is a Crow photojournalist, documenting his community as well as stories about Natives in Seattle. He has a new series of images that document women in their regalia standing on land their tribe once occupied...of this series I especially like scenes of Ho Chunk women at the shore of Lake Michigan and Pottawatomie women standing on the platform for Chicago's elevated train.

He has produced a few prints including this group of Apsaalooke (Crow) women wearing modern versions of the elk tooth dress. Each animal has only 2 milk teeth; a woman displaying hundreds on her dress would be quietly honoring the hunting skills of her male relatives. This photo was taken at the 100th annual Crow Fair pow wow in Montana. For more of Adam's work visit his website: www.singsinthetimber.com
