A little while & I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell.
From nowhere we come, into nowhere we go.
What is #Life?

It is a #Flash of #Firefly in the #Night.

It is a #Breath of a #Buffalo in the #Wintertime.

It is as the little #Shadow that runs across the #Grass and loses itself in the #Sunset.

- #Crowfoot (c. 1830 - 1890), #Chief of the #Blackfoot #Indians
#Farewell to his #People, 25 April 1890

Closeup portrait photo of Chief Crowfoot. He has wavy hair that is a little past his shoulders. He is wearing a dark shirt and is looking off to the left. His eyes are shiny. His nose is long and prominent. His mouth is set in a straight line. 
Crowfoot fought in as many as 19 battles. He fought for peace. He is remembered for his involvement in Treaty Number 7.
He received a lifetime railway pass in 1887 for his statesmanship - but he didn't travel by train very often.

@emsenn Not sure this directly answers anything you've asked in this thread; is a nice artistic start to some of the ways to decenter the narrative of whiteness.
