Native American POW WOW, Tipton, PA

The 9th Annual Native American POW WOW was held at DelGrosso's Amusement Park, formerly known as Bland's Park, in Tipton, PA. Visitors to the park were treated to the full richness of our Native American brothers and sisters. The POW WOW is held on Saturday and Sunday featuring both male and female dancers in full regalia, Native American drumming and singing plus the works of Native American artisans. Native American food was also featured. If you are interested in traditional foods, please visit http://www.nativetech.org/recipes/index.php.

Have any pictures of real INDIANS? You won't find them in New Jersey. Try Oklahoma where the real Indians live.

To the one above... we may not be real INDIANS, but we're real NATIVE AMERICANS! Just because we aren't too federally recognized in Jersey doesn't mean we're not here. We have family in Oklahoma. We expand as a nation, just like our ancestors did and how people do now. I kno you travel and move, or your family moves to other places. They have kids and then start their own family there.

To the photographer of this, these are nice shots of pictures. I must admit... I was jealous ma little brother was on here and I was now. Just kidding. But, continue to take photos. We have another Pow Wow in South Jersey, the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Pow Wow in Salem county on June 9th and 10th. My e-mail is Tywolf23@hotmail.com, so e-mail me for information if needed. Thank you.
