The Jingle Dress Project

Fine arts photographer Eugene Tapahe’s idea for “Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project” came to him in a dream. Legend has it the jingle dance originated from an Ojibwe man who dreamt of its healing power during the Spanish Flu.

Now, Eugene travels the West photographing his daughters and friends in National Parks and Monuments as a way to reclaim Indigenous spaces and bring healing to the world.
