I am very honored and happy to report that on October 28th, 2018 I received a new name. Calvin Grinnell "Running Elk" from the Mandan Hidatsa Arikara Nation bestowed upon my own Native American name in a formal ceremony this afternoon. The name he chose for me was Maa'ishda tehxixi Agu'agshi which is Hidatsa and translates in English as "Shadow Catcher". D.F. Barry was known as "Little Shadow Catcher" and Edward Curtis was also knows as "Shadow Catcher", both significant Native American photographers that came before me. Calvin was aware of this and felt it was important for me to carry on the name and the tradition since they are no longer with us. Jason Morsette also gifted me a song called "Shadow Catcher" that he composed and sang for me during the ceremony. It was a beautiful ceremony and I want to thank everyone that attended, you know who you are.

I cannot explain in words what an honor this is for me and for the work I am trying to do for my friends. They are now not only my friends but my brothers and sisters going forward.
