Native American Celebration in Second Life!

Happy New Year, friends, PLN, readers, and those who may've stumbled here for the first time!

There's a bunch going on in the MUVErs arena, and I'll surely report out here when it's reportable, and meanwhile I'm posting today to share something fun and educational that I stumbled upon while exploring the SL Winterfaire offerings last week.

It's a lovely build that celebrates Native American cultures, sharing through very well-done text/image card displays (which I generally don't like, but these seem to work quite well in the setting) information, both factual and legendary, mostly about the Cherokee Nation and its culture.

One very cool feature at the site is a free (for two rezzes) loan of a horse to ride about the sim on. I didn't take advantage of that kind offering, deferring to my trusty Pegacorn from S. Haras, but I did take a paddle in the build's adjacent Openspace Sim lake in the loaner canoe. There's also a loaner jetski there, too, but I managed to jump the lake's central ski-jump ramp through its ring of fire using my canoe. Can't paddle that fast in real life, now can I?

I highly recommend you go visit Ravencatt at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ravencatt/227/104/22.
