Pow...wow!


This day, I couldn’t go to the early Powwow because I slept in, although it wasn’t on purpose. I got up by my friends call, I was very sleepy. But I had a homework assignment so I had to go. Once I got there, I was completely awake, the sound of drums beating in my heart, I heard a song, I didn't know what they were singing, but it was a comfortable melody for me. At last, I saw the people dancing, and it was completely awesome, because there isn’t anything like this in Japan. Now, I want to learn more about Pow wows, so maybe I will look it up and enjoy watching it.

 The location for the Pow wow was in Sparks, and there was a lot of shops. There were traditional crafts, accessories, flute, some kind of string instrument that is similar to banjo, dream catchers, T-shirt and more! And outside of the building, there were Indian tacos and fried bread, I tried an Indian Taco, but it was difficult to eat. There are some pictures that I took. I’m so sorry my camera performance is poor, but this is the picture of drum. They all hit the drum at the same time singing a specific song. And next, take a look at this guy. He’s wearing a beautiful costume. At first, I thought he was scary. But once I talked to him, I figured it out that he was a very kind and funny person.
 
The Pow wow was a great fun. It is always interesting to learn about other cultures.
