Tamkaliks Celebration....

7/23/2015

 
(  Writing this from Enterprise, Oregon on July 23.  )
Last weekend we were lucky enough to attend the 25th Annual Tamkaliks Celebration ( powwow) and Friendship Feast.  Everything was free and the Feast was really a feast with salmon, buffalo and elk, as well as many delicious potluck dishes.  The dancing was so beautiful and it is very hard to pick only a few pictures to share.  That means this blog will be very long.  Enjoy!

The "arbor" or dancing arena is shaded by a flowing canopy. Tables were set up for the elders of the Wallow Band of the Nez Perce and the community elders from Wallowa County.

After the meal came the opening ceremony and then the dancing.

Several drum groups and singers provide the music for the dancers.

Last is a picture of us near a tipi and a picture of our grandsons near a tipi in Michigan.  They were at Mackinaw the same week we are doing the powwow here.
