My gourd art/Sun Doll

The blood of the first people

lives on in me.This is my sunbird doll.

It is made from rooster

feathers and a gourd.

In the American Indian tradition

Sun Bird was the name of

an indian maiden.

An indian warrior

wrote this song about her:

Oh, pretty Sun Bird,

— just whisper one word—
To guide me on my way

day by day 'neath the prairie sky;
And when I'm dreaming—

'mid camp fires gleaming—
My love star shines for you,

all for you, my sun Bird.
