Native American Day

When I was looking for pictures of the school to go with my post about Saint Xavier, I found pictures from Native American Day back in September that I never posted.

To celebrate at Pretty Eagle, all the classes joined in a parade up the main road, we shared a lunch of stew and frybread with families that came, and we had a school Pow Wow during the afternoon. It was the best day!

Kids came to school in their traditional dress... so many beautiful handmade pieces

The Collins boys sang a Crow song to start off the Pow Wow, with Colton (the oldest, 4th grade) on the drum. They are awesome!
