Second Weekend

Saturday, my first group left at 6 in the morning. I got up to say bye to them and promptly fell back asleep. After a couple more hours of sleep, I got up and got ready for the day. I met the interns from the church in town at a powwow held by a local college. It was pretty chilly unfortunately and not many people showed up. We only stayed for about an hour and a half. There were 6 drum circles and about 20 youth dancers and 3 adult male dancers. The drum circles were awesome. We sat right beside one group who called themselves 'Young Nation'. They were all in their 20s it looked like. It was really cool to see that they were participating in that part of their culture since a lot of young people have a reputation for shunning it. I was slightly disappointed because there weren't any booths with crafts of food set up.

Sunday, my second group got here. They're from New York and seem pretty cool so far. I hope to get to know them more as the week goes on.

Here are some pictures and a video from the powwow.

This is Young Nation.
