PowWow

We went to a PowWow here on campus last week and had a great time! It was in a huge gymnasium, so imagine the deafening sound of at least eight drum circles. The kids were a bit nervous about all the warriors walking around, but by the time we had finished our Navajo taco's, they were ready to check things out.

This sure was a far cry from the PowWow's in Wisconsin. I remember mom taking me to one when I was in high school. It seems like we drove out of the city quite a way and ended up in the middle of the woods where there were tons of Native Americans gathered dancing, singing, selling their jewelry and other wares. It certainly felt like we'd traveled in time. Thanks for taking me Mom, I loved it!

We tried to take pictures of the dancers, but the men move so fast that most of our shots look like a big feather blur. It was fun though.


I love this shot. What a cut little girl, she's probably 4 yrs old. And, ckeck out the little boy, he thought it was a bit loud too.



This little guy was having a blast! It was sure fun to watch the boys dance!
