I'm thrilled to share Barry Walker's fabulous photos of the Native Trails performance at the Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts. Someday, I'd love to see this in person. In the meantime, I thought you all would appreciate this vivid glimpse into Native American performing arts to brighten your day and bless your soul. You can see more of Barry's fantastic photos and get details on these photos at his travel blog.
