Salem Oregon Senior Pictures: Celebrating Madison's Heritage

Our second location for the day was the All Nations Native American Veterans Memorial in Jefferson Oregon.  This Memorial celebrates Native Americans that gave their lives in battle while fighting for our country. Because of Madison's Native American background The curators of this memorial / museum were gracious enough to allow us to shoot at their location.  Now let me back up a tad.  To just say that they were gracious would be a huge understatement.  The good folks at the All Nations Native American Veterans Memorial provided us with the use of their hand crafted leather dresses, hand beaded necklaces, an authentic Tepee and even a live wolf.
