This past weekend was the 31st Annual Ponca Powwow in Niobrara, Nebraska. Sadly, living out here in Oregon, I was not able to attend. Hopefully things will come together for me to make it there next year.

On this episode, I read a poem from The Creator's Game, the poetry collection I wrote after attending my people's powwow last year. I'm so glad I wrote that little collection. It's a record of family, Ponca bliss, old friends, Indian humor, ceremony, little people knowledge, and just unforgettable good times. It really was a comfort to read from, feeling all that I was as I thought about this year's powwow from afar.

Grab a mug of your favorite beverage, blow a kiss to powwows past, kick back, and enjoy!!!
