HEALING MOVEMENT: ACOSIA RED ELK CREATED POWWOW YOGA FOR HER PEOPLE
In the most geologically diverse areas of Oregon, at the base of the Blue Mountains, lies the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation. Prior to European contact, the members of the Cayuse, Umatilla and Walla Walla tribes lived in the Columbia River region for more than 10,000 years, moving cyclically from the lowlands along the Columbia River to the highlands of the Blue Mountains to fish, hunt and gather food.
This beautiful landscape of rolling hills and wide-open plains of the Columbia Plateau is home to 39-year-old Acosia Red Elk, world champion jingle dancer and creator of powwow yoga. Acosia is a member of the Umatilla Tribe and descendent from the Chief Joseph band of the Nez Perce.
