For The Oklahoman
There always has been an enormous connection between Native Americans and the rhythms of their environment, to the land and to on another, as well as to their customs and traditions. Their oral traditions are a lifeline, of sorts, from generation to generation.
Diverse is a word often used to describe the rich Native American heritage in Oklahoma. One of the many ways to experience that diversity is by visiting and enjoying Native American events and powwows held each year throughout the state. These events celebrate the culture of the state’s American Indian tribes, and the pride in having those festivals is extraordinary.
