Native Dancers in Alabama

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians is the only federally recognized Native Tribe in Alabama. Last weekend their dancers performed at a local art gathering and I made a point to be there. It was fun to see the young people and their amazing dedication to their ethnic heritage and bringing it to the rest of us. I took some video (of course) and edited it into a 3 1/2 minute summary. I am impressed by the regalia (not costumes!) and their energy. Enjoy.
