Marra photographed Billey (Grand RondePaiute), 61, at the Post Falls, Idaho, powwow in July 2007. She will be the first Grand Ronde Tribal mem ber to be featured in Marra's work and her photo accompanies the month of December 2009. Marra creates two 16-month calen dars annually "Powwow: Portraits of Native Americans" and "Native American Dance." They are usually available in bookstores starting in August because the titles begin in September. Marra and his wife, Linda, have spent the last 20 years traveling to Na tive American powwows across the country, documenting "the commitment and spirit of the exciting affirmations of Indian identity." To view Marra's Web site, go to www.benmarra.com. The site shows his traveling exhibition for museums and published work. The Marras also are working on a hard-cover book with a working title of "Faces From the Land: Twenty Years of Powwow Tradition." It will feature more than 150 color photos and personal narratives, and will likely include Billey. Billey's calendar portrait features her wearing a replica hat created by many coastal Tribes. The hat is cedar covered with a variety of seashells, including tiger shells, cowries, white clam shells, abalone shells and dentiliums. Billey is the daughter of late Tribal member Elmer Tom and Christine Wewa Tom, and was born and raised on the Warm Springs Reservation in central Oregon.
