The pow wow got off to a good
start with dancers hailing from Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Idaho and one dancer
from Canada. Traditions also attracted people from Europe. One photographer
from Germany and Ryan Paul from London,
England.
Due to unfortunate circumstances,
Ambrose Redhouse - Arena Director and Eagle Creek - Northern Host Drum, could
not make the trip from Kayenta. Luckily Al Blackbird stepped in, doing a
brilliant job as Arena Director. Cliff Eagle Singers filled in as Northern Host
Drum.
Traditions would like to express
their appreciation to Alex Shepherd, Master of Ceremonies, for all of his
advice and support. Thanks also goes to John Begay, Salt Lake Southern for
again hosting this year.
My sincere appreciation goes to
Alex, John, Al and Emerson for doing a wonderful job in making this year's pow
wow a success!
The drum contest was brilliant,
with some magnificent displays of drumming and singing. In the end, Walking
Bear won with only ONE point to spare. Well done!! Singers were Quanah LaRose,
Jerry Bear, JoJo Bear, Bert Pewankee, Aden Sam, and Herman Begay.
The audience
chose Quanah LaRose as Head
Man Dancer & Hollie Begaye as
Head Lady Dancerfor the October 6,
2001 Pow Wow
Many many thanks to all the spectators who came and had
a memorable day, especially the dancers, for making another Traditions In The
Making happen again. DON'T FORGET NEXT YEAR OCT
6th!!
