This past weekend Kilian and I attended the 17th Annual Chumash Intertribal Pow Wow at
the Live Oak Campground off the 154 Highway in the Santa Ynez Valley. I
have been wanting to attend this Pow Wow for quite some time as I have a
fascination for Santa Barbara County's Native Tribe, The Chumash, and
their history with my (their) dear Santa Barbara. It was great to
finally be in amongst local tribal leaders and their families as I was
completely overwhelmed with Native American culture, beautiful costumes,
and awesome jewelry and crafts. We spent the day soaking up local
knowledge and getting inspired by a culture that has influenced the West
Coast for generations on top of generations. I highly suggest attending
a Native American Pow Wow during your lifetime. I hope this is one of
many for myself!
Check the Native American flag with the real eagle head on the top!
