A Native American Gathering at Southwestern

People who have known me for a while are probably aware of my affection for the Native American culture.  Thus, it’s always a pleasure and honor to cover the annual Spring Powwow held at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas.   This year marked their 8th year.   They continue to attract tribal groups from all over the United States.   It’s a celebratory event that showcases the art of dance that goes back literally thousands of years.   This year’s Head Gourd Dancer was Kenneth Begay (in the opening photo), a Navajo who traveled here from his Arizona home “near the Grand Canyon” says Mr. Begay.   Here is a selection of photos I took for a package in the Williamson County Sun.
