"How I long for spring and the return of the birds who flew south last fall! Maybe they will be coming back from so far south and west, they will have caught a glimpse of The One Who Went Away on her long journey".

Powwow and Strawberry Thanksgiving
These are two Native American celebrations. Powwows are Native American social and ceremonial events which are held all over the United States throughout the year. They are important for the preservation and sharing of Native Americans' heritage. Strawberry Thanksgiving is a festival held in June to honor the early summer moon - the "strawberry moon." People who eat the strawberries and participate in the festival must forgive past disagreements.
British Columbia-born artist and writer, Emily Carr (also known as ME Carr) painted the skies, forests and Native Indian cultures of the Pacific Northwest in a style noted for its intense energy and shimmering light.
Carr studied art in San Francisco and England and visited France in 1910-11, but it was in the remote native Indian villages of her home province that she found creative inspiration. One of Canada's most famous painters, her career is testimony to the fact that achievement is not reserved for the young. Carr was 57 years old before her paintings gained national critical attention, and it was in the years that followed that she created the body of work on which her reputation rests.
