The Kwahadi Indian Dancers--our entertainment for Wed evening.
This shows the back of one of the Indian costumes to give you an idea of the intricate mass of feathers which we understand are done by hand and are authentic to the tribe represented. We were transported from the Ashmore to the Kwahadi Museum of the American Indian and had time for a tour of the museum & gift shop prior to a catered Mexican dinner with the dancing to complete the evening. We have seen them dance before--the first time with a small group in our living room at Christmas time the first year we were here!--but it seemed even better than we remembered and we truly enjoyed it! The group felt it was one of the high lights of the reunion.
This is Charles Richie who is the head of the group and does an amazing narrative which includes a great deal of Scouting information as this is a Boy and Girl Scout group of performers. They toured England/Wales/Ireland last summer and took along neckerchief slides which Bob had carved to give to their hosts. The "Indian Maiden" is the daughter of Judy Dahl who I worked with at the hospital and have known her since before she was born, so to speak. She was a delightful dancer and did several solos.
This shows a bit more of the group and their costumes with the flag ceremony.
