The People’s Center in Pablo hosted a social powwow on Aug. 22. The powwow began at 5 p.m., and the dancers danced until dark on the lush green lawn.
Invited drums were Yamncut, Post Creek and Allen Pierre’s drum according to Marie Torosian, Education Director for The People’s Center.
“The powwow started off slow,” Torosian said, “But then it just picked up and we had dancers and drummers.”
Torosian said The People’s Center likes to host social powwows because it give younger dancers a chance to dance, and there is no waiting around for contests to be finished.
Frybread, Indian tacos, Japanese and Chinese food and hamburgers and all manner of soft drinks were all available for hungry and thirsty visitors.
Powwow goers could also shop several booths where jewelry, t-shirts, sweatshirts and other items were for sale.
