Round-Up Coverage and photos from one of the event’s most memorable years
The show must go on — but it did so without many of the usual CTUIR faces in the crowd and on stage By Cary Rosenbaum of the CUJ
PENDLETON - Lights, cameras (if you’re a journalist, photographer or spectator), action. After a year without the Pendleton Round-Up, the fun continued -- with a level of caution in mid-September. Culture and history were on display throughout the four-day event. And while some declined to attend due to the growing risk of continuing the current COVID-19 surge, hundreds of Native Americans from area Tribes did. Some Board of Trustees were in active participation, just days after cautioning members to attend safely. The polarizing topic of attending on the onset of a pandemic-high two Tribal deaths in September saw some leaders adamantly oppose it occurring altogether. Nonetheless, the 111th Round-Up came. And there, the CTUIR is the marquee Tribe. The history, the songs, the dancing, the competitions, the parade, the food, and the regalia were present. Masks, social distancing and precautionary measures were there as well -- to a certain degree. Throughout this edition of the CUJ, we will be highlighting several storylines from a Round-Up to remember.
