The pow wow at Occoneechee State Park will be big this year. There are four regocnized Siouan groups, and several non recognized, that will be all contributing to this event. Considering that there’s often been some wrangling amongst these groups, it will be interesting to have them all together. If there’s a good spirit there, it will be a milestone.
All politics aside, there will be many opportunities for people to come together, and it is very holy ground for us, the last place the Siouan people of the Piedmont held their own power, and lost it with the massacre on Occoneechee Island. The Island’s now inundated by Kerr Lake, and lays at the feet of Clarksville, under the bridges that now span the waterway.
Who’s coming? Who should I be looking for? Grand entry’s at noon. It goes till about six. It’s Occoneechee State Park on Hwy 58, just before you get to Clarksville, assuming you’re coming from the east. That’s also where 15 meets 58 on the east south of the bridges.
Every year I’ve gone, someone important has comeinto my life, or I’ve learned something that changes my life.
Linda, sorry we won’t be able to make it this time but looking forward to the next. Our love and care to everyone there. Ed
I plan to come with my husband and kids. Felicia emailed me the flyer and the invite to come a couple of weeks ago. We plan to make it a one day trip since it is only about 3-31/2 hour drive from my home. Maybe I will get to met you while there.
So how’s about an update on the pow wow??? How did things go?? Who attended??? I sure thought about y’all…had a bad day at work…wished I had just called out and gone to Clarksville.

Just click on the link to see some of the photos I took at the pow wow.
Linda I just added a link to the page if you’d like to see all 73 pictures in their original size. The website reduces the size of the pictures so the images aren’t as clear as the original.
Here is the direct link to see them all.

The pictures may be a bit slow loading due to the volume. Once loaded just click on any thumbnail to view the full image. Feel free to copy and save any photo you would like. You are right, the Pow wow was great. I look forward to the next one.
