Pow wow

Last weekend we joined couple other employees and went to the Cody, Wyoming. As I heard it is a cowboy city with rodeo every single night, but we did not go there because of that. We went there to see a Pow wow. It was really interesting to see all those native Indians to wear their traditional "celebrational" clothing. Lots of colors. I noticed that they had some similar foot stepping as our national dances. We had a fry bread, what is a traditional Indian food. Also it reminded me a Langos, Slovak version of fry bread. They taste different but look the same. We bought a dream catcher to  protect us from nightmares, and allow us to have good dreams only. So far it is working for us, we`ll see later. On the way there we saw a black bear hanging out between trees, ironically it was brown. Silly Americans! Then we saw a bison, few elks and on the way back another black\brown bear run across road. This weekend we plan to go camping, hiking and horse back riding. Here are some pictures of pow wow:

  3. Yes it was a black bear, in Yellowstone black bears can be black brown or blonde. you can tell the difference by their shoulders and noses.
