Coeur d'Alene Tribe Lake Celebration

[AdamM]

Last Wednesday the Coeur d'Alene Tribe had a celebration of their official recognition of their rights to lake Coeur d'Alene. While there I was able to get a few nice shots but this has been the consensus favorite that I have shared with the tribe. Please look it over and provide thoughts and inputs.

Very nice Adam - I like the cedar branch tucked into the bow of the canoe. Is this a traditional Coeur d'Alene cedar canoe?

Very nice Adam! This one scores. I like all of the different expressions by the people in the canoe.
It's no wonder the Tribe likes this one.

Share some of the other photos when you have time.

Yes this is a traditional hand carved cedar canoe the tribe made for a canoe journey. They utilize it quite a bit. We also use some sturgeon nosed ones.

Here are some additional photos from the celebration. The first over exposed and didn’t turn out too well, the second 2 came out much better.
