In the On Sacred Ground Series, Ricardo was inspired by a conversation with a friend, singer and author Bonnie Jo Hunt, in which she was saying Native Americans believe that everything stems from Mother Earth.

This one is possibly my favorite... and that says a lot, considering the depth of your other works.
Ricardo Chavez-Mendez replied:
Thank you, John. She is a very special lady, she is an author, a muscian (singer) and cares deeply about her heritage! She is Lakota and she actually inspired the whole series so it was only right to honor her in a portrait and include her in the series. Thanks again!

I forgot to mention she is signing the Lord's Prayer in her native tongue in this image.
