MISSION — Swirling dancers adorned
with feathers, beads, bustles and fringe. A
cacophony of colors. The rhythmic beat of
the drum.
The pow wow had all the usual ele-
ments, but on a miniature scale. This was
the Kidz Pow Wow, held Saturday on the
lawn of the Tamástslikt Cultural Institute.
More than 20 children showed up
for the event, dancing in a shaded circle
ringed by family members watching from
lawn chairs.
