Like a native youth camp?

There's a native week or so here for the native youth in dallas.

They have some pow-wow people put on a little show... and come and describe their dance styles and display the pieces to their regalia.

Someone comes and helps them create shawls and beadwork on different nites. They have a frybread cooking class and a drum comes and talks about their group and the pow-wow circuit and singing...
they also have some native artists talk about their stuff.

Its pretty interesting and fun for the kids.

We have a cultural camp for about 2-3 weeks in the Summer. It's pretty cool they teach beadwork, different crafts, take hikes and since it's all Natives, they have sweats, one for the girls and another way down stream for the boys.
