2007 Tule River Pow Wow Preparation and Princess Contestants

It was invited to join a project to photograph for preservation and archival purposes the historic photos and documents of the Tule River Indians. On one of those working days, I was privileged to observe a day of the 2007 Pow Wow and get to meet many fine people with Indian heritage and culture from around the country. This is an event I highly recommend to everyone to witness.
