Thought you might be interested in the different powwows. I have never seen the drama play "Tsa-La-Gi" (which is part of the trail of tears) but I hear it is great. Have a good day. ---------------------------


Indian Summer is here, and Oklahoma invites you to immerse yourself in the fall color and Native American customs that honor the bounty of nature. As summer winds down, our state comes alive with Indian powwows, holidays and celebrations.

Oklahoma is so steeped in Native American cultures and traditions that its very name means Red People. With 39 federally recognized Indian tribes, this is truly a state of many nations. And from Labor Day weekend through Thanksgiving, you'll find native celebrations as diverse and authentic as the tribes themselves.

Be sure not to miss events like:

================================================================================

CHEROKEE NATIONAL HOLIDAY
Aug. 30 - Sept. 3 * Tahlequah, OK

More than 100 events are scheduled for the Cherokee Tribe's celebration of
The
Seven Clans. Labor Day weekend is also the last weekend of the year to see
the
revived Trail of Tears Drama, performed in the Cherokee Heritage Center's
outdoor amphitheater. And the year-round Tsa-La-Gi Ancient Cherokee Village
lets you walk through a living history exhibit of a 16th century
settlement.
