Pow Wow, September 22,  2012 - Page BBBB

This Pow Wow was held at the FDR State Park in Yorktown, NY, which was presented by the
Redhawk Native American Council.  
The bus picked us up by the State Building on 125th Street in Harlem.
Below are some of the photos I took on the day of the event.

Falcons
We were given some background into the life of the
birds and then the trainer let go one falcon and used
a prop to get it to return.
The falcon pranced on the prop.
