Spotlight on Shannen Koostachin

This is a monument on the shores of the lake that I live on. As I was walking by one morning I liked how the statue was highlighted! In Shannen Koostachin's short life, she developed a reputation across Canada as a passionate fighter for the rights of native children.
Below is a link about her life and how she died, if you’re interested.

A very fitting image - almost like a halo and with strong shadows for a strong woman.

Excellent shot! Though her death was certainly a tragedy it seems to have spurred even more dedication to fulfilling her dream. At least there is something positive in that though her potential was never fully realized. This shot really captures the essence of her life.
