A Powwow Story

National Public Radio (NPR) has a story, told partly through the eyes of a 9 year old, about the current slowing economy and its effect on the Native Americans. The NPR story includes an audio file that captures the voice of Tyler Richardson, the 9 year old, as well as his father at a powwow. Great stuff!

Years ago I spent a weekend camping out at a powwow in Alabama. It was an eye-opening experience. I learned a bit about the Cherokees and greatly enjoyed the music and dancing.
