1999 Mohican Pow Wow
Thousands of people enjoyed the Mohican Pow Wow again this year as they watched not only the American Indians but also a dance team of the Aztec Indians from central America as represented by five of its members from Mexico. Our marquee was set up right beside the dance arena and as they would dance the hill side would become covered with hundreds of interested spectators.

As viewed from the hillside, native Americans performing an "Inter Tribal Dance." Our marquee is the second one from the left.

Here's a couple of pieces I made from Indiana Hornstone. Those of you who know me certainly recognize the corner notching . . . what else is there? ;-) The largest piece is about 7" long and was produced during one of the many "free hand percussion" demos I conducted throughout the weekend. Several people showed an extreme amount of interest as I would walk them through the steps of setting up proper platforms and striking the stone at an acceptable angle to remove flakes. Sorry guys, I only left cortex on one end...

. . . a young man being instructed how to properly perform the "Rabbit Dance" according to Aztec tradition. These proud people are very committed in passing "their ways and customs" on to the younger generation.
