It was in the 60s and very cold for them

Kennedy Elementary morning presentation:

The Principal and Richard.

Anita and Richard would get up to two classes at a time in the teepee.

Maybe 40 at a time.

and the Buffalo were very big!

Teahers before the pow wow!

Here is Angie Perez (Eva's daugther who is also a ECC Teacher), standing between Richard and Anita during an afternoon presentation.

Anita also says that they had a yearly pow wow there that the whole school participated in.

Most of the children got dress for the pow wow.

The teachers lined up their classes, as the pow wow music played, circled around the Lipan teepee and kept going around until all the classes were under the covered area. Anita joined by dancing back and forth. Everyone was over whelmed and felt that the presentaion was very educational. It started at 2 p.m. and ended at 5 p.m. They did not want to leave. After the pow wow Richard spoke and I spoke of foods. Very different from the other presentations.

Everyone having a great time at the ECC Pow Wow!
