Description: Philosopher, author, poet, and painter Frithjof Schuon (1907-1998) first met Crow Sun Dance Chief and Medicine Man Thomas Yellowtail (1903-1993) in Paris in 1953. Yellowtail and his wife Susie spent a week in Lausanne a few weeks later with Schuon and his wife Catherine. This began a long friendship that lasted until Yellowtail's death. This photo was taken during those first few weeks of their relationship, which was based on their spiritual affinity.
