Today we went with Grandma and Pop-Pop to the Morningstar Celebration PowWow in Bel Air, MD. The PowWow gathers members from various tribes from across the country to celebrate American Indian culture, dance, music and food. The PowWow benefits the St. Labre Indian School in Montana. The Crossmans have been supporting St. Labre for many years. In graduate school, Betsy had the opportunity to spend two weeks on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation and do a fieldwork internship at St. Labre. The PowWow was really interesting. Lots of drumming, chanting, dancing and amazing costumes. And Indian Tacos complete with frybread!
The Grand Entrance where all the dancers were on the floor
Katelyn was clapping and bouncing to the beat the drums
Josh was on the edge of his seat!
There were dancers of all ages
A new annual event for our family!
