We had a really nice time visiting and wandering around the Native American PowWow at the Rochester Fair Grounds on Sunday the 26th.

This was the first PowWow I have ever been to, and was impressed with the seriousness of their presentation of their culture.

Sure, there were it's commercialized aspects and the 'show' parts of it. But very nice.

I'm so glad that I was able to see this prior to our upcoming trip out to New Mexico. I've had a long standing interest in Native American culture and thought, and mix it into my martial arts teachings with the I-Ching and Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching.
