On Saturday the NYC Urban Sketchers virtually sketched images for an American Indian Pow Wow. I have never attended a pow wow, but have thought about going a few times. We have a branch of the Shinnecock Indians who have a reservation east of where I live and each year around Labor Day they have a ceremonial pow wow there. Our event leaders from our group provided a website with links to images and videos of pow wows all over the United States.
Jennie and I went to the Pow Wow in Austin for several years in a row and to one in Albuquerque which was really good. I love the food, art, music and dancing. They respect and love the USA, their elders, soldiers, women and children. A beautiful family event. Your flute player is great.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Jo. I'm glad you enjoyed going!!
DeleteNice work. I've never attended a pow wow either but it should be a very interesting event to sketch, in like two weeks from now.
ReplyDeleteIt probably would be fun to sketch. I'll have to see if there are any local ones coming up.
