Hey its Amira Love here again with my baby’s eye view report on the Social Club trip to the Aboriginal Pow Wow Festival in Hamilton. Oh what fun I had!
The first part of the Festival we visited was a section by the Armed Forces.
The nice soldiers were letting us try on Army stuff and taking free pictures. Cool
huh?
Looks like Grandpa and Auntie Retno were having lots of fun playing dress up.
I really liked the ride toys, but they wouldn’t let me bring one home.
There was a market where you could buy hand crafted things, like dream catchers (every where), paintings, carvings, beaded jewelry, moccasins, clothing and more things than I can remember. Lots and lots of info about the Aboriginal Culture.
My New Friends!
I wanted to try on this head dress but it was bigger than me.
We sat in the stands for the show. Vets and Aboriginal Royalty were honored welcomed and introduced.

The show consisted of drummers, singers and my favorite the dancers. I saw Native people from the very young to seniors who had representatives from all the different tribes competing in the dances. Oooohhhh…..pretty colors everywhere…..
This one too. ;)
This guy was behind us where we sat.

I stared at all the pretty costumes when they were walking among everyone.
These dancers look like a rainbow when they were twirling around.
Thank you to the Social Club for arranging this and to all the people on the bus that made it a fun day. A special thank you to Auntie Renee for driving us there safe and sound. I hope you join us on our next trip.
