2013 Tashmoo Festival

We did make it to the First Nations portion of the Tashmoo Festival in San Souci, Michigan. Many people from Walpole Island First Nation, or Bkejwanong, were there.

We have a video of a young lady doing a dance that goes back to World War II and celebrates the end of the war and the return of the men from their fighting. (Please forgive the finger; it soon gets out of the way.)


We also saw old acquaintances.
We had used a frontal photo of the young male dancer on the right, below,


back in the post about this upcoming festival  

Here he is from in front:
