What a day
Joe and I attended a Pow Wow which took place just outside the town of Corunna
Our great nephew and great niece were attending their first Pow Wow as dancers
The Colour Guard
The eldery and young joined in
Our niece
Waiting his turn
The moccasins were completely beaded
Different headdresses
This headdress was more like what I would see on a biker
It was very hot and sunny
I thought she must be terribly warm
The jingle dance
Swish Swish
Our great nephew dancing
Mother and son
Beautiful regalia
This was a neat headdress
A few feathers in his cap
Our great niece
Swish again
Mother and daughter
This little girl was upset
She had her hands over her face
however
she could look through her fingers
It was sweet to watch her
The family danced for the first time at their
Pow Wow
It was an amazing afternoon
We were so very proud of all of them
IT WAS A GRAND DAY
Wow the colours are amazing !! We did an International Women's Day event couple years back and our focus was native women. They came and danced in full costume as well it was very memorable ! Such pride :) as it should be ! Did you feast on the Indian tacos ? Yum Yum
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. So very colourful. I can't imagine dancing in those outfits in this heat.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to see a new post from you Dianne. I have missed your photos and 'stories'! I have not been to a pow-wow since 1969! You have shown the beautiful artistry and pageantry of the First People. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteVery cool. :) DB
