Friendship, feasting
and dancing mark
25th Tamkaliks
By Kathleen Ellyn
Wallowa County Chieftain
The 25th Annual Tamkaliks Pow Wow and
Friendship Feast showcased some of the best dancers
from three states and shared a meal with 575 guests.
The event, held at the Homeland Project site in
Wallowa, is an annual opportunity for neighbors
to unite.
“This is a time to come together as friends and
celebrate this place,” said local Nez Perce
representative Joe McCormack. “It is not a time to
dwell on the dark times of the past, but to celebrate
the friendships of today.”
The “place” is the 320-acre Homeland Project
grounds with a huge dance pavilion shaded from the
sun by a parachute cover that billows and breathes
with the breeze and floored beneath with grass.
The grounds will soon contain a longhouse for the
celebration of various events and educational
programs and displays.
Dancers from Idaho, Washington and Oregon
demonstrated traditional dances throughout the
two-day program as masters of ceremonies Thomas
Morningowl and Fred Hill and organizer Brian
Conner explained the meaning of the pieces and
joked with performers.
The community feast, which fed 125 more visitors
this year than last, was a huge success with plenty of
buffalo, elk and salmon to go around. This time, in
addition to the meats, traditional native foods such as

SOLUTION
camas root and biscuit root were served. Visitors and
neighbors usually bring the side dishes, and there
were plenty of those to go around as well.
The atmosphere this year was very relaxed,
according to numerous reports, and visitors felt
welcomed, entertained and educated.
Special presentations were made to the descen-
dants of the Women Warriors of the War of 1877.
Winners of the female dance competitions were:
Women’s Senior Dance, Scherri Greene of Lapwai,
Idaho; Women’s Traditional Dance (18-49), Katie
Harris of Pendleton; Girls' Teen Traditional (13-17),
Dana Sotomish of Lapwai, Idaho; Girls' Traditional
(7-12) Layla Sohappy of Pendleton; Fancy Shawl,
Dana Sotomish of Lapwai, Idaho; and Jingle Dance,
Dana Sotomish of Lapwai, Idaho.
Winners of the male dance competitions were:
Men’s Senior Dance, J.T. Williams; Men’s
Traditional Dance (18-25) Steve Axtell; Boys' Teen
Traditional (13-17) Juan Sotelo; Boys' Traditional
(7-12) Dylan Sampson; Fast and Fancy (all ages)
Gary Smith; Grass Dance, Robert Tewawina, Sr.
The annually awarded scholarships went to local
Karl Wellens and Native American Antoinette
Crowe. The scholarships are awarded to both a
member of the tribe and a non-member as an
expression of friendship and belief in the future.
