Powwow Dreams
After 10 hours of watching Native people and dances at the Gathering of Nations powwow, guess what you see when you fall asleep? (5/2/2008)

Gathering Goosebumps

Submitted by Nancy Kelsey on Wed, 2008-04-30 17:31.

Growing up in inner-city Cleveland doesn't lend itself to many opportunities for a Native American girl to meet other Natives.

In fact, for a long time I was just as convinced as everyone around me that Natives - outside of my own family, of course - didn't even exist anymore. True ignorance at its best. That may sound stupid to a lot of people who grew up on reservations that might take this privilege for granted. For me it was truly a reality.
