Description
The ceremony, presented by the Nez Perce Nation of four horses, one riderless, at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site , pays tribute to tribal ideals, honors tribal ancestors and helps to heal old wounds.The Empty Saddle celebrates the memory of the young son of Little Bear
During the Nez Perce War of 1877, as the U.S. Army was attempting to remove tribal members from ancestral lands, 33 members of Chief Redheart’s band were captured under the direction of General O.O. Howard. Even though the band neither fought in Indian Wars nor committed any crimes, they were held prisoner at Fort Vancouver through the winter of 1877-78.
The soft glow effect is an effort on my part as a photographer to achieve a cinematic respect to this annual Memorial.
