This weekend is AIAC: American Indian Arts Celebration, hosted by the Ah-Tah-Thi-Ki Museum. (If anyone is in South Florida you should go out to the Reservation!) The whole weekend is full of traditional Seminole food, crafts, art, song and dance. They also host other tribes. On Friday I went over for a little while during my lunch break and watched the Yellowbird Apache do traditional war dances.
I get secretly jealous when I watch things like this. I wish that I could do the Eagle Dance. And I mean that with the most respect. Our culture is made up of drinking 6 packs, watching marathons of CSI and Dancing With the Stars.
I think I'm going to go sit outside in the sun and give thanks to Mother Earth.
