Southern California Indian Center Powwow

[alamosaurus]

The Southern California Indian Center Powwow was to be held
in Griffith Park, next to the Gene Autry Museum. I was there
all day and all evening Saturday, but when I tried to go back
on Sunday, all of the entrances to the park were blocked, and
people were leaving the park in droves. I tried to ask a police
officer at one of the blockades what was wrong, but he just
told me to move on; he would not answer any questions. Was
there another fire in the park, and, if so, how close was it to
where the powwow was being held? (There was a bad fire
there last year; about 20% of the park was burned.)

Yes, there was a small-ish fire on the mountain just behind the powwow. According to the marshal, the fire was *contained* around 330-ish.

[ANNA NICOLE]

so was there a pw on sunday? Or did the fire people keep everyone out?

[superndngyrl]

From what I heard, they continued the pow-wow as usual on Sunday but wrapped it up early.

[Ivanasnagu]

I heard Yellow Hammer hosted, did they rock the house?

Oh yeah Yellowhammer ROCKED the house this year. The Host Northern Drum Young Spirit was awesome too!!!! We are going to have some sample sound clips on our website soon. Southern California Indian Center

Also, check our website for photos from the pow wow. We should have the sound clips and photos up within the next couple weeks.

We had a great pow wow this year and if you missed it, then come next year because we are already getting ready for it.
