The Memorial Dedication Dance, above. The 63rd Annual Shinnecock Pow Wow, Labor Day Weekend, was a great success. More dancers, booths, and attendees than ever, it seemed. The dedication and energy displayed by the dancers from many nations, as participants in this nationally known Pow Wow, brought the crowds to standing ovations. Their songs, spirit and community involvement display the ongoing cultural story-telling that was carried on generation to generation through this important art form. Lots of native food and terrific jewelry and crafts brought in a crowd of thousands over the three day weekend. The joy and excitement could be felt by everyone. For complete cultural understanding and historical review, visit any day of the week The Shinnecock Museum in Southampton and websites. We hope to see everyone at next years Pow Wow. Thank you to the Shinnecock Nation for including us this year! Photo above © Jamie Forbes SunStorm Arts Publshing, Co. Inc.
