Belonging...to be a member of a group, to be proper or due; be properly or appropriately placed...to be bound by ties of affection, dependence, allegiance...

Chief Joseph, Nez Perce (Nimiputimt)
"I am tired of fighting...from where the sun now stands, I will fight no more.
-Chief Joseph
Chief Joseph, known by his people as In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat (Thunder coming up over the land from the water), was best known for his resistance to the U.S. Government's attempts to force his tribe onto reservations.
...his tactics were so brilliant they are taught to this day at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point...

You can smell the moist rich air of the greenhouse and feel the fresh new joy around you as you stand in the presence of life in bloom. The flowers, the mother, the room, the very earth itself, all breathed in for the first time by the center of the bloom...
...the young girl.
Who herself is flushed with the bloom of youth and life yet lived.

Rulers of the night...
...spotting a glimpse of movement in the darkness beneath the trees, one might be motivated to add a log or two and stir the dying embers...
...knowing that, but for the fire, others rule the night.

Forgotten in the moment by the adults who face their own perturbations in the final tumultuous hustle of the ceremonies about them, caught up in this day which culminates weeks or months of planning,...
...the flower girl waits alone in quivering anticipation.

Many portraits of Native Americans, printed in the dun Sepia used in early black and white photography to mimic color, succeeded rather more at profiling the image of a defeated and bitter warrior who, left with no outlet for the emotions which roiled within simply stood, back to the wall, in stoic resistance of the daunting forces washing across the lives and lands they had known and knew no more.
Proud and unafraid to die with the land they fearlessly lived with.
With "Undaunted" Sue has brought forth the image of one who has yet to see the terrible plague of progress sweep across a world out of time...
This Lakota Souix stands, proud and undefeated. Sure and certain of his stance and his place in this life, the Granite cliff at his back, not a trap, simply a backdrop in the scene which exhibits the solidity of the mountains and complements the strength of the warrior.
...and he bears no shame at the feminine softness of his features which he allows to show in the directness of his gaze. Within lives the spirit of the man, the husband, the father, the brother and the son. Without is the face of one who knows love.
Still, not painted into the portrait one can see, there is a darkness also about this man. He wears the insignia of the warrior but, needing none to demonstrate to others the power he commands, holds no weapon in visible threat...but, without the image on the canvas, at his right side lies the darkness, a part of him not flaunted in the light for the artist to capture, but demonstrated by it's absence and made more certain by a second gaze into the eyes...
...there is a darkness within as well...
