I may have had the dates wrong - I went on the 13th, but I'm not sure if that was the first day or when it ended. Way cool - all the different nations in their different regalia, lots of vendors (I liked the tshirt that said Got Custer? Oh yeah!) and very interesting attempts to modernize/bring the young in, Indian breakdancing is worth seeing. I wish I could remember the rap song about They came with rifles in one hand and a Bible in the other... and once again, my Mom and I picked the same small thing to be utterly faschinated by within the panoply - the Navao code talkers. There were three of them, all 80 - 90 years old or older, very very VERY interesting.
