Description
An Abenaki shaman tells the tale of the first meeting between the Abenaki (the "barkeaters" for whom the Adirondacks are named) and the Mohigan tribe. At a French and Indian War reenactment this September on Lake George. The birch bark canoe is real as are the hand carved paddle, war club and axe.

Fine photo!

Nice photo and story. The composition is somewhat unlucky, for the slanted horizon distracts somewhat.

Very nice photo. It's good to remember the roots of North America. Your Shaman may recognize my handle (Hageota). It is Iroquois for 'Story Teller'; a name I picked up as a Cub leader where I always made a point of relating the heritage of our nation.

WOW...very interesting costume! It's lucky you caught him in the perfect natural light and right next to the lake too! Terrific Photo!
