It is pow wow weekend in Grassy. The drums started after dinner last night and were the music we all fell asleep to. They will continue for most of the weekend, and we will hang out at the pow wow grounds watching dancing, participating when we feel brave, and reconnecting with community members that we haven;t seen over the summer.
Last night Fi and I went over to watch the pageant for Princesses and Braves. She spent the evening running around reconnecting with her friends from school, many of whom she hasn't seen for most of the summer. I was delighted to see many students participating in the pageant and rooted for those who have been a part of my classes.
It was wonderful to watch so many students and note how they have grown a little or changed their haircuts. Every summer on pow wow weekend more of a coming home; to the community that is growing roots into us a little bit at a time.
