My Passion: Indigenous America

Mike Auld: WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, United States; BLOG'S HEADER: This blog's header is a combined image of my identity as a Yamaye (Yam-ah-yeah) with a design of Gwabance (Gwa-ban-say)= Angry Wind Goddess of the Taino superimposed over hurricane Katrina.

The image is based on the bird-man sculpture found in a cave in Jamaica in the 18th century and now resides in England.
