On September 12th - 13th, Parkers Maple Barn in Mason held their annual powwow. It was *tiny*, certainly the smallest I've ever been to, but still made for a good weekend. A couple of visitors told me it was a waste of time (one even while I was on my way in) and I can only say to that - any gathering of people to celebrate life and heritage has got to be good, no matter how small the circle.
Grass DancerWhile I realize this isn't a strictly natural world post, there's enough spirit of nature in the traditional American culture to include it here. I unfortunately cannot get the Hoop Dance video I shot to upload on any servers because it is 12 minutes long and above all the limits of youtube, blogger, and photobucket. :( However, visit Pete FourWind's site. He also has a small video. (However, I really liked the one he did at this powwow because it was more intricate.) You can visit his site here.
Theses are just a few of my photos for now. I have so much to format still. ^.^
