Tulsa Gentleman: Ruby Tuesday

Ruby Tuesday - Powwow Dancer

Oklahoma was originally Indian Territory and we still have more Native Americans than any other state in the union. There are several all-tribe powwows held in Tulsa and other cities around the state with dancing and various traditional activities. This young man is wearing a porcupine roach and is carrying a fan of Eagle feathers.

For other shades of red from all over check out Ruby Tuesday.

He learned the different dances and regalia that went with each. He lost interest but I miss going. I really liked the relaxed atmosphere.; Tuesday, June 01, 2010
