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.
