Pow wows are one of the many events I love attending in the Fall 🍁 along with pumpkin patches and Halloween festivals in the U.S. Although not an official Pow wow, Riverbend Park in Northern Virginia holds a special event in early Fall called the Virginia Indian Festival. What I love about this festival is the dance performance by the tribes of Virginia, this particular dance in this video made me think of intergenerational dancing and close-knit communities within Native Americans. It reminded me of my indigenous communities in Mexico who still share this concept of being part of a community and everyone in the family really knowing their role in their community. The elderly are not treated as a burden to the community, but rather someone we respect and admire and listen to for advice, they have an important place in Native American and indigenous communities. This intergenerational dancing where the elder is leading with the younger generation all together as ONE is the way communities used to be, but we have forgotten who we are. #aculturame #virginiatribes #virginiaindianfestival #rappahannocktribe #nativethanksgiving #nativeamericandances #nativehistory #nativedancing #intergenerationaldance #theelderly #grandmotherswisdom
Love Bomba y Plena from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 its rhythm and beat of the drum 🥁 gets in your blood ✨ @semillacultural #aculturame #semillacultural #bombapuertorriqueña #bombayplena #culturapuertorriqueña
If you love history and archeology I recommend visiting Mount Vernon in Virginia. I was very pleased to see that this historical museum which used to be the home and plantation of President George Washington included history of the first peoples and information on slavery at Mount Vernon. The Dogue, Patawomeke, and the Piscataway tribes used to live in this area before the arrival of the Europeans. #mountvernon #potomacriver #nativeamericanhistory #presidentgeorgewashington #historicpreservation #historicvirginia #georgewashingtonmountvernon #piscatawayhistory #aculturame
