SandorsOregonTrail.com. Fred Hill of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Reservation in Northeast Oregon near Pendleton shares tribal traditions like young boys searching for their guardian spirit or wyakin, and coyotes howling at the moon, telling of things to come. Native people belonged to this land long before there was an Oregon Trail and continue their traditions to move forward.

Video postcard from Sandor shot on location in Sedona, Arizona, USA. It was a cold day for filming but I couldn't resist doing this video with the sun going down on the red rocks.

Each summer, Native American Tribes from across the US and Canada paddle their traditional waterways to join together for canoe journey.

Recovering photographer, writer, and filmmaker Sándor Lau relapses to give an illustrated tour of Oregon at that fleeting magic hour just after sunrise and just before sunset where Mother Nature shows off her best. He got up early to take pictures these so you don't have to!
