This weekend: basketball, pow wow, basketball, more basketball, another night of pow wow, then basketball and yet again more basketball. ...phew! Really living (and loving) the rez life.
There was a tournament over in the gym here at Pretty Eagle that went on from Friday afternoon til Sunday night. Which also meant that our 7th and 8th graders were here all weekend and decided that our house was their place to hang out between their games. So there were kids nonstop in and out of our house. Aiy aiy aiy... Just kidding, for the most part it was really fun haha. There was also a whole 'nother tournament in Crow on Sunday so I went there for a bit to cheer on my younger friends.
The other big shenanigan was the Spring Pow Wow the tribe put on Friday & Saturday night. Sarah & I went both nights and it was awesome. A few of the kids from school danced in it and a bunch more were running around and hanging out there. I admire the stamina people here have to sit on bleachers and watch things like this for hours... or for the young children to still be up dancing at midnight after a full and early day of school. But it was wonderful yet again to enjoy the beauty of tradition here.. the drums, the singing, the dancing, the regalia... simply beautiful!
