"Rabbit Proof Fence"

I just finished watching "Rabbit Proof Fence" and I highly recommend it. It's a true story about three aboriginal children who were taken from their home and taken to an internment camp where they were to learn to be domestic workers. They eventually escape and walk 1500 miles in the Australian outback to get back to their home. To read more about the film and the story of Molly, Daisie, and Gracie please follow the link below:

Millbrook Pow Wow

Another great pow wow in at Millbrook First Nation. Wearing my shawl, I lead the Coady participants into the dancing circle during the grand entry. It was very hot so I only danced the first dance. For the rest of the pow wow I took in all the sights, dancing, drumming, and crafts. I purchased a new pair of earrings and a bracelet, as well as sweet grass which is now hanging in my home.

At the pow wow, I spoke to one of the keepers of the sacred fire. I asked about my eagle feather which was given to me a few years ago. He told me to bring it out to pow wows so it can feed of the energy of the drums and singing and dancing. And, so I decorated my eagle feather with lacings and beads and it's now ready to join me at the next pow wow I attend.
