What a great time had by all
At our annual 2018 PowWow and gathering!

Your Chief Grey Elk was happy to see so many new people and citizens.
He enjoyed talking to everyone and wants to thank everyone that came to celebrate with us.
We are a large tribal family and appreciate the long distances many traveled to share our cultural gathering with us.
We look forward to seeing each and everyone of you next year, we ask creator to watch over you all and keep you safe.

Chief Grey Elk received many complements from vendors on how well the PowWow was managed, and how well they did. They expressed their excitement for their return next year, and we are pleased to have them!
