Kainai Pow Wow
The Blood Tribe (= the Kainai) held their annual pow wow just as we were in the area.
A pow wow is a dance competition in several categories (from older chiefs to very young children, as far as I could see). First Nations people from places all over Canada come together to compete and to celebrate their culture.
These women are doing the Jingle Dance, originally a Healing Dance. You can see the bells on their skirts.
