Butterfly Story
This image contains text from The Butterfly Story as recounted by Ramapough elder Cindy Fountain to Chuck Stead in 2009. Photographs are of a dance by Cindy Fountain in 2018. The text reads: "Butterfly says to me, you can’t help, but change, oh you can fight it but that just slows it down, it don’t stop it. I look at all your young faces and I see Butterfly telling you to accept and move with change. You know Butterfly tells us about shape shifting and you are all shape shifting all the time. When you feel them wings coming on you ask yourself what change are you in now? Are you truly ready to fly? Can you learn the wind’s message? Grandmother wind will direct you, will you fight her or move with her?"
