Come to Southern Oregon and meet the elders, children, drummers, dancers, vendors, and other pow-wow regulars and hangers-on at the annual Wolf Creek pow-wow. Be there for set-up, shopping and swapping, cooling off in the river. You may even want to jump down the waterfall. You wouldnt want to miss the tribal salmon feed and potluck supper, would you? Then theres smudging and drumming around the campfire, plus late night high jinx.
Get up early for the flag-raising ceremony the next day, and dance at the afternoon pow-wow. Youre invited to chili night at Pam and Robs camp too.
What happens, though, when most of the drum groups counted on for the evening event just disappear? Who will save the pow-wow? That task falls to an unlikely group of make-do drummers rounded up at the last minute and aided by Menominee elder, Deep Water. Hurray! They pull it off!
Dont head home yet. The fun is just starting! The ceremonial pow-wow may be a serious and spiritual celebration of Native American culture, but what happens afterwards? Join sisters Sarah and Suzanne in the field under the stars for the annual family naming ceremony and walk with them on safety patrol. All sorts of things are going on out there, and what are those teenagers doing over at the river?
It may be getting very late, but the nights still young. Sit in Less teepee as he divides up the drum money from the blanket dance and hang out for marshmallow roasting, crazy talk around the campfire, and teepee creeping.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, butfirst, theres tear-down, clean-up, and the raffle. But dont worry, therell be another pow-wow soon, and until then, just keep on the Good Red Road!
