Gathering of the People Pow Wow

This past weekend me and my family made it out to Boulevard Lake where the Gathering of the People Pow Wow was taking place. It was the last day of the event, but we got to spend just over an hour watching some amazing dancers and drum groups perform.

Not only did I capture photos of the dancing, I tried to also get photos the people in attendance too. Overall it was a very fun and rewarding day. I look forward to hopefully many more Pow Wow’s over the course of the summer.

ONWA 3rd Annual MMIW Pow Wow

It was my second year in a row photographing the MMIW Pow Wow at ONWA. Admittedly, it is one of the events I look forward to most. It's for such an important cause and the amount of people in the community and abroad that show up is amazing to see. For those of you who don't know, MMIW stands for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women.
