43rd Annual Haliwa-Saponi Powwow

[MsLum91]

One of the vendors that was at the pow-wow this past weekend - Mr. James Locklear, was found dead this morning, they think of natural causes. Mr. James was an assistant principal at Purnell Swett, and during the weekend, travelled the circuit. I just saw him on Sat at this booth with his brother, I believe that was his bro, looked just like him.

Please all say a prayer for Mr. James - he was a good man. I spoke on a few occasions when my daughter was in school, and he was always a real good decent man to my family.

Kay - Which James Locklear are you talking about? The Potter???

I am so sorry to hear about this. My prayers go out to his family.

Although it was difficult getting there on Sat....I finally made it and had a good time, even though I could only stay a little while. Congrats to the tribe for another successful powwow and I look forward to staying longer next year. Also my thoughts are with the family of James Locklear in this difficult and sad time.

Thanks to all of you that came to the 43rd Annual Haliwa-Saponi Powwow. The powwow was a huge success and the weather held off until the very end; just in time. Thanks to all of the dancers that came to support the event, especially the fancy dancers that participated in the Johnny Hedgepeth Memorial Moccasin Blowout dance contest. It was awesome to see those guys out there kickin' it. The first place winner in women's fancy was Katy Isinock (sp?).

Congratulations to Red Earth on their first big drum contest win. I am so proud, I feel like I and the rest of Stoney Creek are their big brothers. Thanks to the the other drums that came out, Kau Ta Noh, Jrs. Hope you guys had a good time in Hollister, after years of not coming up. Also thanks to Southern Eagle, you guys sounded great, Red Oak, thanks for setting up, and Southern Sun for serving as Southern Host this year.

Look for bigger and better things next year, we'll start planning for next year in a few weeks.

[CloudN9ne]

[OneidaGirl928]

That's not a very nice thing to say.

[Who Cares?]

I bet josh had the judges

Do you EVER shut up!? You weren't even there. moron.

Who has the complete list of winners? We were only there for the day on Saturday but had a great time as usual. The mocassin blow-out was really good and the honoring for Johnny was awesome. To see his son out there dancing had to touch everyone's heart.

[CloudN9ne]

Thank God I wasn't!!!!

[OneidaGirl928]

Thank God I wasn't!!!!

And why is that?

Clearly you have an issue with Josh or you would never had said anything. Why do you feel the need to air your dirty laundry here? Why can't you just be the bigger person and congratulate him on his win and be done? Or if you don't have anything nice to say why say anything at all?

*I will never understand haterz or why there has to be drama within the pow wow circuit*
