NATIVE AMERICAN POW-WOW

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies! This post is your notice I am back up & running... for now!

The first thing I want to provide to you is yet another thing that makes me go "HUH?!?" You decide exactly how one should approach this crossing and signage. Anyone with a coherent explanation may feel free to provide it!! :)

Alrighty then.

The Four Winds Tribe 11th Annual Pow-Wow was held here recently. This tribe is primarily Cherokee. It was a small gathering, not at all on the scale of the annual Pow-Wow in Austin, but it was still fun to attend. The following are photos from the event.

Clothing & Jewelry for sale: Finally, this flutist was playing a carved wooden flute. It was very haunting and beautiful to hear. There were several available to purchase: So... while it was on a small scale, it was still very lovely to attend. The gourd dancing was interesting to watch. The drum beaters were very focused and made a wonderful background to stroll through the vendors' offerings.

Stay tuned. The 4th Wings & Wheels Fly-in/Drive-in is this weekend and I will have photos from that event soon! You can see last year's photos and commentary by clicking here.

Until next post...
