Black Hills Pow Wow poster honors Native women


The 2005 Black Hills Pow Wow poster by Lakota artist Gerald Yellow Hawk honors Native women.

Called "Honoring the Third Circle," the poster features a Lakota woman in traditional dress with a burgundy shawl on her left arm and an eagle-wing fan in her right hand. She faces the flags of the Lakota Nation and the United States.

Yellow Hawk is a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. He showed the portrait at last year's pow wow, winning the People's Choice Award.

This year's pow wow is being held October 7-9 at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center in Rapid City.
