And now ... some pictures from a Pow Wow. It was a hot, hot day out in the Nevada desert. But the host tribe (Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe) had plenty of shade around the arena. Mom and I started with an Indian Taco made from Indian Fry Bread. Yum! Then at noon the Grand Entry - all the different tribal dancers and singers parading in to drums and singers. The ceremonial dress ranged from colorful and shiny contemporary fabrics and materials, to traditional leather, beads, feathers and bells. I have never been to one of these, and my Mom, who is from the San Francisco Bay Area was really amazed. Due to the heat, we did not stay for the competitions in singing and dancing. But it was an event my Mom will be telling all her friends about.

Can I walk on the bridge with you? I like it sooo much, I think it would look perfect in a medieval story book for children. It´s so mysterious!
I see cheerful and lovely colours in those costumes and a sweet smile in your mother´s face.
Oh boy, don't you wish you could have gotten a close look at their textiles. I would have probably gotten thrown out of the event!!
