On Friday night we went to the big event of the community - the "Standing Rock Indian POW WOW"
During the summer each of the Indian tribes have a Pow Wow, in which they invite the other tribes to participate. Each tribe has groups of dancers and drummers who compete at the events.

The costumes are so colorful and it is mesmerizing watching them dance around the pavilion where the Pow Wow is held. Each tribe has their own set of drums with anywhere from three to six men drumming on the large drums at one time. They have their individual styles of drumming and dancing per tribe.

At the same time, in another location close to the Pow Wow there was a tribal
rodeo going on. The Indians Tribes in North and South Dakota are into rodeos just like our towns and cities in Utah are in the summer.
Wow! These costumes are amazing! Kyle would've looked GREAT in these for the Trek Indian attack. :) ahhh well the timing of it all!
