Dear Readers:
I’m back to regular posting after taking care of personal business over the summer. It’s all been good, very good. So, thanks for checking in with the Buffalo’s Fire blog. Now that we’re nearing the tail end of summer, I will be back in the regular groove of spending a lot more time online, doing my part to keep readers informed about what’s happening in Native communities in Montana and around the country. So, on to some of the latest contest powwow results. Here are the winners of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community annual wacipi held held August 20-22, 2010, at the SMSC Pow Wow Grounds. More than 770 dancers in regalia registered to compete in the contes while thousands of spectators joined in to celebrate Dakota culture.
