UPPER LAKE, Calif. On Wednesday afternoon, a group of young Pomo dancers performed in the bright early afternoon sunlight in Upper Lake’s downtown as singers chanted and burned sage.
As the young men performed in their beaded and feathered regalia, the young women, some of them crowned with headdresses of tall feathers, spun in circles, their long colorful skirts twirling around their ankles.
They danced barefooted with pieces of carpet put down to protect them from the hot pavement between the Habematolel tribal offices and tribal hall.
