What a delight, her whole relaxed, playful motion is captured forever.
... and I wonder...what does the man leaning over have in his hand for the dog.

Very nice juxtaposition of light and darkness, delight and tension.

Beauty and shyness (or sadness) in her wonderful country.

Oh! Michel Frazier.
She dances as She dreams of her young fanticies and
thoughts.
I wonder what they are?
Perhaps her Grandfather Knows!

I wonder if she isn't dancing...She is holding her shawl with a deliberateness, turning her head just so, and toe-heel stepping in very lovely beaded boots. She is wearing a headdress and chest piece. I suspect she is practicing for the next pow-wow. Perhaps the adult is there to help her keep rhythm. or to distract the dog from harrassing her while she dances. She is very focused on her movements. Lovely picture.
