Pow Wow

Okay, if you have never been to a Pow Wow, you are missing out on some fun and some pretty neat drum beats. Here is Bishop we have the Paiute Tribe which are a band of Native Americans that have been here for many many years. I know their history but I won't share it right now and I do have a lot of wonderful friends who live on the reservation. The two little gals featured in this photo happen to be more than just friends, they are my grand daughters. There mother made their costumes and they learned to "fancy dance" from her. What is really cute and funny is their mother, my daughter combined the Irish Jig (which is part of our heritage) and a few other steps she had learned from her Native American friends and she won a championship fancy dance first place.

There is so much to see in the Owens Valley besides the great outdoors, but you have to take your time and take it slow. We have some hidden water falls and other really neat sites to see. A lot of the beauty of the Sierra's are hidden away and we locals don't always like to tell you where they are. We are kinda funny that way.

Aside from big fish, deer, Tulle Elk, mountain goats, mountain lions, bears and cattle, it is a spectacular place to live.
