These dolls were made and given to me by my friend, artist Lisa Fifield (Oneida.) Once a year we meet, put down the blanket, and trade our work. The horse was made for a child in the 1890's. The man is wearing a Ghost Dance Shirt. Ghost Dancers would move in a circle to the left, and some would fall from exhaustion. I thought of a man who fell into the circle, stared into the sky and dreamt of his family.
