Fort Ancient National Historic Landmark, Oregonia, Ohio. This guy is one of the many native Americans who gathered at Fort Ancient this weekend for "A Gathering of Four Directions" pow wow. It was well attended both by participants and spectators. The regalia was quite varied and extensive.

Fort Ancient National Historic Landmark, Oregonia, Ohio. This distinguished gentleman was the elder at "A Gathering of Four Directions". Apparently he had suffered a heart attack about four weeks prior to the event and was happy to be there to open the celebration by giving the opening speech. He expressed his hope and desire to be in attendance next year and I hope he'll be able to fulfill his desire.

Fort Ancient National Historic Landmark, Oregonia, Ohio. There were participants from several different tribes, some as far north as Canada. My sense was that the Cherokees were the best represented.

Fort Ancient National Historic Landmark, Oregonia, Ohio. I just love this man's hat and, in particularly, the beaded hat band.

At the show, they asked all veterans to come into the circle and be recognized. I thought it was a wonderful gesture given that Indians are proportionally over represented in the military.
