Lenape Pow Wow

Another weekend, another trip/history lesson. This weeks adventure was to the Lenape Powwow held at Core Creek Park near Langhorne, PA. This annual event is sponsored by the Churchville Nature Center. A few photos from the day.

Let's begin with the task of creating fire the traditional way, bow and spindle.





Daniel is modeling one of the Lenape headpieces. I'm not sure PETA would approve.



A most impressive dance piece of the Lenape tribe.



Onto some body art. The person from the Nature Center was great and took a great deal of care and interest in each of the paintings. Daniel added a new food to his limited diet - Bison Hot Dogs. Of course, I did not tell him until he ate it in about 10 seconds.



All this history is tiring. Enjoy.
