It's that time of year again – school is winding down and the kids are starting to think about upcoming graduation ceremonies. But not before one of the most important teenager rites of passage, prom! Check out how these Iowa kids from Meskwaki High School incorporated their Native roots into their prom. Pow wow time!
And this photo comes to us from Kathleen Hughes, a Dodson School Educator and Photographer from Montana.
“One of our seniors and her aunt made her dress and jointly, though mostly her, beaded jewelry and additional decorations on her dress and her date's vest.”
And remember these gorgeous dresses we shared from Irene Begay? What girl wouldn't want to wear one of these beauties?
So tell us, how have you incorporated your heritage into your prom fashion?
