Pow Wow/Cabin Fun

The Honor the Earth Pow Wow was beautiful and moving, and fun. It was a 3-day event. We were there on Day 2, and there was a good crowd. According to the Hayward website around 10,000 people attend the pow wow from around the country (and world maybe?). It was fun to see all the costumes, all of the handmade. We even saw a little girl wearing a dress made with sponge bob fabric.
Drummers were in the middle of the ring and also around the edges. It was good to see many generations involved with the festivities.
Peter and Jim enjoy an "Indian Taco" as they were called, bison and the fixings on fry bread.


Aksel enjoying some crazy weird smoothie with giant black tapioca floating in it. He wasn't too fond of the tapioca.

Awesome photos, Katy. Thanks for documenting this time. It's sensory overload when I'm at the pow-wow, and this helps me digest it in a manageable portion.
