LAPWAI POW WOW TRIP } ; ' , i J i | On March 5, a group of students accompanied by Mr. Quincy and Loretta Wheaton went to the 9th annual E-Peh-Tes pow-wow at Lapwai, Idaho. We left on the evening of the 5th and traveled all night. On the way, we had some excitement. Mr. Quincy’s Indian car started acting up so we told the van crew to go ahead and we turned around and went back to get it fixed. We stopped at a service station where Quincy swore and kicked at it and it started working again. We started on our journey again. Later on, the other crew caught up to us and were happy to see us. We finally arrived at about 3 a.m. The boys bunked at Tracey Jackson’s house for that night and most of the girls stayed at Loretta’s mom’s house except for 4 who stayed in Quincy’s Indian camper at a camping ground. Friday morning, we all went to the Pi-nee-waus where the war dance was held. Matt Dillon, Roger Kemp, Kevin Nichols, Eva Sandoval, Delphine Sandoval, Tracey Holt, and Paul Sher wood danced and represented Chemawa. That evening we were fed by Paul Sherwood’s mom at Sissy High Eagles house. The girls were bunked at Sissy’s house for the week-end and the boys stayed at Paul’s house. Saturday the kids danced again and went to the 49(contemporary Indian singing) after the dancing was done. Sunday morning there was a meal at Pi-nee-waus where things were done the Nez Perce way and it took about twb hours before we finallv finished our meal.
