What fun we had today at the Native American Pow Wow in Prescott. Kayla had just finished reading one of her "Magic Tree House" books about the first Thanksgiving and Squanto. I guess us "adults" don't always think of these things but she asked me ................ "Are Indians still around?" As if they were dinosaurs and extinct. So, how perfect that the pow wow was this weekend and the girls got to see "real indians" in their traditional clothing. They blessed the ground and did sacred dances.
Most important to them was the HUGE Tee Pee. Inside was where the children learned about native american culture. They got a taste of the sweet and yummy fire roasted corn on the cob and it was a first for them to have indian fried bread.
Here is a short video clip of the gourd dancers drumming/honoring the Native American Military Veterans.
We ended the day with a verification that "yes, indians are still around".
