[QUOTE="Oldtimer, post: 1145069, member: 97"] Since the ranch has such a strong history involving the local Indian tribes- having been right on the trail they traveled on their trips back and forth to Wood Mountain to get Kinnikinnick ingredients- and was the trail Sitting Bull and his band took to Canada in order to escape General Miles after the Custer battle- I like to keep up with the local native culture... So today I took two of the granddaughters over to the Red Bottom celebration... This is a pow-wow put on by the Red Bottom Clan of the Assiniboine Tribe... I hope the kids can grow up learning this history and how so much this area of the country developed around or is affected by this culture... Not very many dancers or audience this year--altho hopefully many more will show up for the nighttime festivities (about my bedtime and then go all night long)... But they did have 2 drums going and some dancing all afternoon... They almost didn't hold the celebration this year (only decided last week to go ahead) as they hadn't raised enough money (or someone stole it is the story) - so many did not plan on coming.. To me its somewhat sad to see some of the old culture and tradition dying... I can remember years when hundreds flocked to these celebrations- and the whole campground was full of tipi's-- today there was not one single tipi, having been replaced by modern tents bought from Cabellos or Gander Mountain or campers or motorhomes... :( But I did snap a few pictures of some of the dancers...
