NATIVE AMERICAN WOMEN AND CHILDREN AT THE POW WOW




You can see the pride in the faces of the beautiful Native American women and children. As I strolled through DelGrosso park that day I couldn't help but notice how the families were enjoying the rides and refreshments as much as anybody. They travel far across the country to share their wealth of wisdom and traditions with people all over the country. They never hesitate to take the time to stop and talk and pose for a picture. It breaks my heart to read the history books and know what our government has done to the many tribes across our nation. You would be amazed to talk to them while looking into their eyes, you can see the hurt is still there, yet they are so forgiving. All they ask is that you try to understand their traditions and allow them to exist.
