Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project

A Diné (Navajo) Nation photographer Eugene Tapahe of Tapahe Photography, with his family and friends, is taking the healing power of the jingle dress to the land.
The group stopped in Minnesota as part of a national 'Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project' journey to learn more about the origin of the Ojibwe jingle dress dance tradition, bring healing during the pandemic and reclaim special places.

I love this! I have seen videos of their healing dances in different countries for indigenous peoples reclaiming their lands. Genius!

Beautiful dress and sound. In my culture the sound of jingles cast the bad angels and drives the devil crazy. It is said that in heaven you can hear the sound of jingles for the glory to the Most High.

For me it was similar to the impact of AIM for me (and my father) in my youth.

I need to order more t-shirts for Christmas presents!! Are the photo prints available to purchase?

It surprises me how the inhabitants themselves are surprised by what their culture was, before colonization. A shame what happened in Canada with its inhabitants, more respect for those who were before the Europeans.

[@melaniefoxglove2830]

Where can we view the photographs?

[@sharonkaczorowski8690]

Wonderful pieces!
