Native American artists

Dona Mares and Robert Orduno

Many of our PRINTS reflect the special relationship with "Animal World". There is a great deal to learn from our kinship with animals. The ancient movements of Native American dance are among the other themes you'll find in the Dakota Blue Portfolio. We hope you enjoy the corresponding stories that go with each image and that they may bring added insight to the artist's intentions. All our limited edition signed prints come with a certificate of authenticity and satisfaction guarantee.



			turquoise eagle The warrior must acquire enough feathers for a war bonnet to become Chief. Each feather represents a lesson learned, including that of spiritual enlightenment as well as courage and leadership. But first he had to come to terms with his personal medicine, the eagle. The eagle fetish of turquoise represents his personal ally in nature to call upon for protection and for strength, courage and wisdom to follow his vision and dreams as Chief of his people. – Dona Mares

			set free the dream This painting is a healing-dream shield. For to free your dream is to heal.

Also to honor spider – that wondrous creature who creates such beauty for her own body, her web • The LIZARD is for dreaming • The SNAKE is for the transmutation to occur • The FROG is for the cleansing of our spirit and with the CENTER OF THE FROG is the "light" of the Creator – where the spark of life, gifts and dreams originate • The ROBE is the color of enlightenment and within the robe are seen the DRAGONFLY – so we may see the illusions and not be confused by them. Also seen are the BUTTERFLY – so we may transform ourselves to meet the dream. The message of this piece is to set the shield into motion – so you may now "SET FREE THE DREAM" – Dona Mares

			wild turkey woman A Woman child wears the tail-fan headdress of the wild turkey and her vision quest wreath. The wild turkey teaches us "gives-a-way". The true meaning of a "gives-a-away" is simple and beautiful. It is the giving from your heart to another, be it of yourself or some sacred object, with no expectations or thought of what you receive in return. A true "gives-a-way" always tugs at your heart – giving something you love, honor and cherish is a must to have done a Gives-A-Way. – Dona Mares

			between eagle and hawk Eagle teaches us to fly high to see the "whole", to view the "all". Hawk teaches us to be specific and zero in. To fly on wings of both eagle and hawk we use our power of perspective. We fine tune our inner vision so that we are clear of thought and action in our lives and relationships to all things. – Dona Mares ORIGINAL FOR SALE !

			transformation The ceremonial dance has the power to lift the dancer beyond ordinary consciousness, into the realm of the sacred. This northern plains dancer has moved through the initiatory phase of the dance. Her swirling movements have propelled her beyond ecstasy. Now she merges with the powerful spirit of the Ancient Ones. The dancer travels north on the wings of butterfly medicine. She journeys towards the lavender moon resting high in the golden light. As her spirit unfolds to Butterfly, she infuses its power to transform though many moons. She will remember to curl into the seed of her soul and wait for memory. She will remember the moment of chrysalis, then the stirring of goldenwings. And the elders will tell her, at each of transformation: You have become Medicine Woman. Through many moons the dancer repeats the pattern of this journey. Her feet move in the familiar ceremonial steps. She dances to the voice of the Ancient Ones as they speak to her in the evening breeze that floats through the canyon – Annie Woods

			giving gratitude As she moves through the cool blue light of the Spirit World toward the beckoning heat of transformation, Wohpe holds her hands out to White Crow. Falling Star, he whispers, the time has come. He has come to guide her through the darkening cusp between Spirit and Earth, and they merge their sacred medicines under the gaze of the Tree of Life. The time has come for the White Crow to return the Sun to the Heavens and burn this being into Black Crow. The time has come for Wohpe to bring Turtle Island and the sacred rites of the Plains cultures to the Earth. The Ancient Ones will call her White Buffalo Calf Woman." – Annie Woods
