OK, we went the United Tribes International Bowwow in Bismarck at the United Tribe College. It is a BIG DEAL!! Tribes from all over the continent and Europe come. The Pow Wow is The 39th Annual United Tribes International Powwow and this year there are 1500 dancers representing over 70 Tribes and drawing over 20,000 spectators. This year they spotlit another indigenous group: The Sami. Samiland, Sapmi covers the northern part of Norway, Sweden, Finland and western Russia. There are about 100,000 Samis. INTERESTING NOTE: Not long ago, the literature says, musicologists proclaimed that the Sami were the only people on earth who could not sing. They are the only indigenous group in Europe. Karen got a Turtle necklace and we had Indian Taco for lunch which we shared and baklava for desert with fresh squeezed lemonade. We have a few pictures of the Powwow and one of a very rare Paddle fish that is found only in North Dakota and the Ukraine near Russia. I can't understand how they got in those two odd places but there you have it.
