Two Coal Black Horses and a Hearse
This photo is dedicated to the memory of Chris Frank Leith, and to the Mdewakanton, of Prairie Island, Minnesota.

The hearse had come for Chris Frank Leith, 75, of Prairie Island, who had died Thursday, March 4, 2011, at his home. He was Brother to Amos Owen, one of the Tribal elders.

The horse-drawn hearse was waiting in the Tipsy Turtle parking lot, Prairie Island, MN. We had simply happened upon it, and with my camera in hand. Naturally we had to swing by to grab a photo, before we knew any of this. There were people standing around, dressed in their best, with one wearing an impressive headdress. 

Edited out are a vehicle on the road behind, and a prominent electric pole.
