karolostrivizas 2 Posted February 15, 2010 I met this proud Indian in an isolated mountain path at a First Nations Reserve (Reserve for Indian tribes) in northern British Columbia in Canada……………….. He was riding a beautiful horse, that he had captured from the wild, and was trying to halter break it, (you can see him riding in the following picture).................... Despite his rough and rather terrifying appearance he was a very polite and helpful man.................... Although he did not have any kind of conventional education – he didn’t even know the existence of Greece and other European countries – he had a primitive wisdom and a very well based conception about his nation and people.................... Our encounter and discussion was for me a really unique and unforgettable experience………………………………………………….Any kind of critique is much appreciated...................Please, full screen view is recommended.

Todd Kowalski 2 Posted February 16, 2010 Wonderful image and an amazing story to go with it. I am sure that you were in the realm of meeting someone that few of us will ever have the glorious opportunity to do. You who has taken such a great photograph of this proud man deserves to have the great memory of such a meeting. Regards, Todd Link to comment
