46th Annual Great Lakes Area Pow Wow (Hannahville Tribe): Good Dancers and Present History

Native Americans are indigenous to the U.S. and interwoven into the history of society. They have a special honored place to many and important champions of protecting the environment. I have gained lots of Native American friends over the years and find a welcoming atmosphere. Their traditions, values and sense of community have taught others about the deeper meaning of life and the world in which we live. 

Of course there are others who don't feel the same and create artificial boundaries between themselves and our local native peoples (and others. It has become part of their distorted perspective of values and its difficult to help them see themselves for who they are. Hate has no place in our modern society.). Its sad but with positive interaction, challenging poor behaviors, and a sense of healthy respect on how each community can make our nation great we can develop something the world has never seen (Different people's working toward the same positive end and that will forge the strongest American steel. Think of the example of the American Code Breakers and how knowledge applied in new ways created advantages others didn't have.)  

Thankyou Hannahville for sharing your traditions with the rest of us and teaching us about community and the environment.
