Going to the Mi’kmaq Mawiomi (pow wow) in Presque Isle, Maine, this weekend got me thinking. They said it was their 30th Mawiomi. So was that the oldest or where did it fit in.

I asked a few natives. The best they could offer was ‘you ask some good questions.

So, I started my own research. I was surprised that Passamaquoddy days had been around for 58 years. That is the OLDEST I have found so far. I am still looking.

So this is where we are. Help if you can. Much appreciated.

One of my many video montages made up of the photos I take, stitched together & with dubbed music.

Some of the 110 pictures in this video.

I have already posted 7 photos yesterday. I took 138. So this is basically the rest of the photos.

It was OK. Very hot. Glad I went. Given we, in New Hampshire, no longer have any large tribes this was mainly inter-tribal. I will talk about that later.

This is the quickest way for me to share all my Pow Wow pictures with YOU. Make them into this video montage. So, I did. As always, I was rushed for time. No editing other than the title/end slides. It is already on ‘Facebook‘.

For the first time I am using dubbed music OUTSIDE of YouTube. It is from ‘Pixabay‘ that I have used in the past, very successfully, for photos. Had no idea they also did music. So glad. This music was provided by ‘nerdymp‘

Enjoy. I am sure you will.

I have been to the museum (& grounds) multiple times BUT never to their annual Pow Wow. I hope to rectify that this year.

The Indian Museum is first class. I was so impressed on my first visit. Yes, I will confess I haven’t visited in a few years — but then again, we also had COVID.

I have gone and ambled the beautiful, bucolic grounds — which you can do without visiting the museum — a number of times. I find it extremely peaceful and rejuvenating.

I am hoping I can make it to the Pow Wow this weekend.

This year, as I did last year, I am HOPING to attend a few Pow Wows — this would be the first.

I do NOT, however, intend to o to the ‘Passamaquoddy‘ one, in ‘Pleasant Point‘. The Passamaquoddy, to my distress, have disappointed me. That is a shame. I am in touch with a COUPLE of them, BUT I have no interest, right now, to interact with the tribe. SMILE.

So, I am hoping to meet a new set of Indians at this Pow Wow.
