* Powwow

Queens Farm Museum, NY

The local annual powwow. Native Peoples compete in the memories of how the ancestors
once danced their tribal stories. Now presented as entertainment for the ancestors of
the people who drove them off. A heartbreaking history... but yet the honor of memories
and traditions that must never die.

Rod - I know you were joking with your comment, but I had to delete it. Anyone that doesn't know you and your sense of humor, particularly if they are Native Americans, could take great offense. I've too much respect for thier heritage to risk that, so I took the liberty of deleting it. Normally I would never edit somebody else's comments, but I would feel awful it were taken seriously.

~ Respectfully, Lonnit
