CRANDON, Wis.(WAOW-WSAU)– Hundreds celebrated the ending of the winter season along with its transition, and honored the anticipated arrival of spring on Saturday.
The grounds were buzzing with Native American culture, dancing, and food at the two-day event ‘Winter’s End Powwow’
“We practice our dances, and every dance is in honor of those that can’t dance, those that are passed on,” said Lisa Milligan Organizer of Winter’s End Powwow. “We just come together for good feelings, and that’s what we get for dancing.”
The event had hundreds of dancers including Albert King Jr. who states that these types of traditions are something that he plans to pass down to his children.
“I am just trying to fill in those foottracks of when I was younger, and trying to get him to understand powwows, ceremonies, and stuff like that,” said King Jr.
The event also had numerous vendors that sold Native American crafts and clothing. Navajo Sam was one of the businesses at the event, and the owner, Samuel Begay, stated the importance of keeping these traditions going.
” We try to motivate all the kids and keep our tradition,” Begay said.
