John has a friend who works with him who is Native American and he goes to POW-WOW's and dances in all of the traditional Indian attire. They had a pow-wow here in Vegas that they invited us to. We decided to go and see Rich and his kids dance. It was really really cool. There were lots of dancers and Rich was explaining to us what all of the dances met and what all of the clothes meant. He was explaining the difference between Northern and Southern styles of dancing...etc. We had a really good time. Lucas had a lot of fun because John (Rich's son) was teaching him how to dance. It was really cute to see Lucas bouncing up and down to the beat of the drum.
This is Rich and John dancing in an exhibition dance for all the men. It was really fun to watch. Later in the evening Rich danced in a War dance with about 10 other men. It was really cool to see them all in their colorful clothing and with their bells and stuff dinging at the same time as the war drums. We really did have a great time.
