The first day of the new millennium and the Pow Wow continues. January 1st, 20000 the racetrack is used for both foot and horse races. There are fancy dancers competing for prize money. There is Aztec pageantry with long feathers and pounding drums. There are arts and crafts, some for sale, some not.
Our local Arizona desert tribe, the Tohono O’odham play a matriarchal game, much like field hockey as smiling mothers play ball alongside giggling daughters. While the athletes play the crowd cheers, waving their arms and stomping their feet almost as if they are dancing.
