Up to museum again, this time for a day of learning about Native Americans. The beating of the huge drum was incredible...it seemed to take over and comand our pulse to match it's rthyms! The ceremonial dances were lovely, loud and shared a variety of sounds as shells and beads upon the dancers regalia (clothing) made a music of their own.

We were priviledged to have Native Americans willing to spend some time with us explaining much and consenting to a photo. We greatly appreicate their time and patience with us as we sought to better understand their culture.
B will learn more about Indians during 2nd grade history and I look forward to reminding him of the Pow Wow and all that we saw and heard.
