Kiamichi Owa Chito Festival—Broken Bow, June 14-16. This event offers chain-saw sculpting, archery, horseshoes, a spelling bee, a lumberjack competition, gospel music, and more. Don’t forget the turkey-calling contest.
Gee, chain-saw sculpting--sounds like a job for Mike Cleary!
The 2003 Red Earth Native American Cultural Festival begins with the rising of the sun on the 23rd day of May for three extraordinary days. We, the descendants of over 100 Native American tribes, will gather to share the richness and diversity of our culture with the world. Come join us as we celebrate our heritage - shop the works of 300 artists, listen to the rhythm of the drums, witness the powerful beauty and grace of Native Dancers, and learn the songs and stories of our ancestors!
There were some really great pictures here, but I couldn't get them to paste into here, so you really have to check out the website: http://www.redearth.org/festival.htm
In early August each year, hundreds of Native Americans gather at Anadarko in southwestern Oklahoma for six days and nights of celebrating their cultures. Named for a Plains Indian tribe, Anadarko is the county seat of Caddo County. Anadarko is also the "The Indian Capital of the Nation" because of the many Plains Indian populations that have historically lived around this area.
Same with this one--no pastability. Website: http://www.loc.gov/bicentennial/propage/OK/ok_s_inhofe4.html
The Tsa-La-Gi Ancient Village has been hailed as one of America's finest living museums. It recreates the lifestyle of the Cherokees during the 16th century, prior to European contact. Realistic in design, the Village captures the living conditions of the Cherokee People.
During the summer months, guided tours are given through the Village where visitors hear narratives about Cherokee history and customs, and witness villagers going about their daily routine. These tasks include preparation of food, making arrowheads and weapons, weaving baskets, playing stickball, working with clay, pottery and beads.
Why can't I copy pictures???? Sheesh. http://www.powersource.com/heritage/village.html
