Does anyone believe that a Native American artist could not have been found to make a portrait of W. Richard West Jr., the founding director of the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian - and for a much more reasonable price - and likely a far more creative portrait.

Besides - this fetish for portraits by Washingtonians - and others with a high opinion of myself - has always seem to me to be a big waste of money especially taxpayers dollars and in a time of economic troubles on the reservation and the rest of American.

I was driving to a conference in Ann Arbor, MI on August 10, 2007 to discuss the new Turtle Island Project - when I spotted this cloud floating over an island as I was near midway point of Mackinaw Bridge.

I quickly pulled out my camera and snapped a few shots while driving because I could not stop in traffic.

Many have said they see a Turtle, and some say a smaller (dark area) baby turtle under the wings of its mother.
