Stanford Pow Wow

Today is a rest day, but we did quite a bit of walking anyway at the Stanford Pow Wow for a few hours this evening. There was a lot to see! We had buffalo burgers for dinner and viewed the many booths where artists and merchants displayed their wares.
We also watched the Grand Entry, in which all of the dancers carry the colors into the circle. We met with friends of our from two different arenas. The family of one of our son's classmates was there, as her father is Paiute. Our son is also half Native American, both Pequot and Blackfoot.
We also met up with some amateur radio friends, one of whom is Seneca, who were there to help the tribal elders with some of their communications needs. A good time was had by all and, after a few hours, we drove back home to prepare for tomorrow's hike at Mission Peak.
