We took Luuk to the Annual Pow-wow and Indian Festival at Stone Mountain Park. As expected we didn't see any Crows but we did run into some Creek, Chippewa and Iroquois. Luuk got a kick out of the inter-tribal dances. Those are the ones where anybody can join in. In typical bearish fashion he noted that the footwork of the medicine dances is quite a bit like an Irish jig. Pics are in the extended entry.

Luuk learned quite a bit about Indian heritage. He even discovered that he is a totem, signifying strength and wisdom.

After a long day at Stone Mountain there's nothing quite so relaxing as vegging in front of the boob tube with some Sunday football. Luuk was confused by "football" at first until we got the whole "American Football" versus "European Soccer" thing straightened out. After an evening of real sportswatching Luuk agrees that soccer was invented by European housewives to have something to do while their husbands washed the dishes.

That's it for today. The Everyday Bear is scheduled for another photo shoot on Tuesday and will then likely be airborne to Don in Virginia on Wednesday. If you want to download the whole set of pictures right click here and save the file to your PC.
