Congratulations to each and every one of this years champion dancers  at the 2011 Shinnecock Pow wow.  I want to thank the Shinnecock Nation and all its people for making each and every one of the years that I have spent with you a very special and meaningful  occasion for me.  I have always felt so loved and welcome from the start of my journey with you to the very end.  There is always a sadness I feel in my heart when I pull away and begin my departure  from you because  I know it will a long journey through the year before my return to your Nation.  I have posted some photos that I took this year of your pow-wow and I hope that you enjoy them as much as I do.  Please scroll down to the end of the page to get a full viewing of all the

photos please keep in mind that none of the photos have been edited

 however they have been water marked.  Keep in mind that water marking the image distorts the quality of viewing the photograph on the internet.  The original photos are not marked and are available to anyone who would like a copy of their picture.  Thank you all once again for making my time spent in your Nation a special and meaningful experience.  Stay safe best wishes and many blessings to each and everyone of you......Pocahontas red autumn wind Cooley
