Powwow in St. Ignace, Michigan

We went to the opening ceremony of a joint rendezvous and powwow. The rendezvous consists of people dressed in period costume and camping as the fur trapper and Indians would have during the fur trading days. We did not see any other people for the rendezvous.

Tents were set up around the park selling items that would have been traded in a much earlier time. They included furs, beads, dream catchers, and mocassins; as well as current Indian crafts.

The flag ceremony began the pow-wow. I do enjoy hearing the drums and singing.
