"This piece serves as a reminder of our inseparable connection
to the land, the dance between human and natural elements.
We must move in a way that flows with nature, rather than
against it. Beings such as the Thunderbird speak to the power
of natural law, to which we are always subservient. Our role
is to be with the land and water, in harmony as caretakers.
Mother Earth provides, and for her we dance in gratitude."
