Gourd Dancers in Afganistan?

Check it out!

The gourd dance has REALLY spread all over the world!

American Indian Alaska Native Heritage Month observance was celebrated on November 27, 2004, at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan.

This celebration is documented in Indian Country Today in an article titled: Operation Enduring Freedom (December 10, 2004).

Included in this article is photo 2: Sgt. Gustavo Canales (left), Spc. Joseph Yott and Spc. Robert Nelson perform the Gourd Dance, a traditional dance honoring warriors past and present.

Kewl!

Our warriors spirit continues in our young as they are able to show this to the whole world.

This is great.

Tabaa,

Whew!

I forgot about this tread.

I thought I would see some Arabs in red and blues, shaking a gourd!
