Joliet Junior College Powwow

We spent 10 hours at the JJC Powwow yesterday. I now know many of the dancers from my work at the AIC on Tu/Th. It was a very nice way to celebrate their lives and talents.
One lady I work with (above, Barbara) talks non-stop about her little princess granddaughter, Asia (also above). Asia is full of life and a very good jingle-dress-dancer for only being four years old. She calls me "grandma's friend," and gives really warm hugs!
My AIC Food Pantry supervisor, Hara brought her granddaughter, Naya to the powwow. She and Sarah hit it off as friends right away! Naya is teaching Sarah how to jingle-dress dance.

The junior-level Fancy Feather boys dance their little hearts out and are always the favorite of the crowd! These boys are so light on their feet, quick, limber, and very fun to watch!

I have many, many more pictures. If you are interested - just ask to see them when you are here next! I love to show off my powwow friends!
