A Photo of Contrasts


Delegates, some in traditional dress, attend the opening of a climate summit in Paris on Tuesday, July 21. French President Francois Hollande called for an ambitious accord ahead of a United Nations conference to address the threat of global warming.


This photo caught my eye for a couple of reasons. It was taken on July 21, 2015 in France just before the opening of a climate summit in France. First, I see two people who appear to be dozing in the back and second the individuals wearing their traditional clothing. It contrasts sharply with what the other people around them are wearing.

It made me wonder: would we ever see a Native American Indian wear traditional clothing at at session of US Congress? Probably not.
