Today we went to Fort Hall and watched the grand entrance at their 50th annual pow-wow. It was very interesting. As it began and the drumming and chanting escalated, I was touched and had tears in my eyes. It was so beautiful and fierce and it made me sad to see how native Americans live today compared to the free, proud, nations that once were. We also went to "Chubbuck Days" and ate tamales and spam sushi in the park. When we got home one of our chickens, Bill, was missing. I accidentally left the door unlatched and they were out. A few minutes later the neighbors came over in tears because their dog had killed Bill. I felt bad because I left the door open and because the neighbors felt so bad. Poor Bill. Other than that it was a fun day.
Sorry about Bill. Maybe you should clean and feather him and cook him for dinner and invite your neighbors over for the feast.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have seen the pow-wow, especially after doing all that research on the Fort Hall Indians. I wonder if any of them were related to Old Man Ocean...?
RIP Bill
