POWWOW

We went to the Arapahoe powwow this last Friday night with our family friends Marsha, Butch and their son Jeff. It was fun and neat to see a real powwow. The dancing competitions were really neat. They have different categories: men and women traditional, men’s fancy dance, men’s grass dance, women’s jingle dance, and women’s fancy shawl dance. For each dance there is an appropriate outfit to wear also.

First they all raise the flags and open with a prayer given by the grandfather. Then they start by all dancing



This was our favorite dancer. He was awesome.
