Running Water pow-wow

If you've never attended a pow-wow, you have missed an opportunity to learn much about Native American heritage. Google "pow-wow" and you'll be amazed at how many events are available. This photo shows Men's Southern Straight Dancers and Grass Dancers ready to enter the arena at the Running Water pow-wow in Rome, GA. Originally I had listed the dancers as "Fancy Dancers", however I've now learned that Fancy Dancers wear two bussels of feathers on their backs. And a big "Thank You!" to Father RedWolf for bringing this to my attention.

This picture is of one Men's Southern Straight Dancer in the head of the group and the rest at Grass Dancers. Fancy Dancers wear two bussels of feathers on their backs.

Thank you so much, Father RedWolf, for the clarification as to the regalia worn by these dancers.
