Lansing Area Native American Pow-Wow
Most people do not know that Lansing, Michigan has a very large Native American population and also is nationally known for having large Pow-Wow every year. People travel from all over the country to meet and celebrate Native American culture and discuss issues that effect Naive Americans.
The Pow-Wow is located at Adado Riverfront Park which is located right across the street from my school so I decided to go over and check it out yesterday. I took a bunch of pictures, but I was told not to take any pictures of the dancers, there is actually a sign saying so. I wanted to respect them so I did not.
I hope you enjoy the pictures that I did take!
Riverfront park in Lansing is known for having festivals.
There were a lot of kids from local schools.
As you can see they had some rules to follow.
Everything was just getting set up.
In the center was the Dance Field.
There was a lot of informative signs.
There were a lot of super cool booths.
They made sure you knew what the place was about.
There were little signs directing you to different places.
They had Native American Food.
And they had some great advice.
And more respect than most.
There was a lot of cool stuff to buy.
And a whole lot of information.
How cool is this?
It is cool to know stuff!
Most of the Mechandise was authentic.
You can learn a lot from other cultures if you try.
I mean really, how cool is that!
I hope you enjoyed seeing these pictures. I encourage you to check out festivals and events from other cultures as a way to learn about them.
