Creative Access Description

Black and white landscape oriented image of a Cree woman dancing. She leans forward at her waist with her head raised staring intently toward the audience. Her arms are outstretched like a wingspan from her shoulders. She is barefoot and wears a dark coloured sleeveless unitard with a low cut neck. Her long dark hair hangs in a number of strands braided together with light coloured ribbons. Additional ribbons are affixed to her body suit and hang vertically from her frame. To her right and behind her a man with long dark hair sits at three conga drums, playing a vertical woodwind instrument, possibly a Shakuhachi flute. He is largely obscured by the shadow at the edge of the spot light on the woman.
