American Indian Exposition parade, 4 August 2008

The Hasinai Society had several floats in the American Indian Exposition parade on Monday, 4 August 2008.

Our beautiful princess, Naomie Paddlety

Shirley and our boys. The boys sang Caddo songs during the entire parade.

Our Little Miss Hasinai Society, Shayna Howery, and her mother, Shelby.

More of our regular Haisnai members on another float.

Overall, the Hasinai Society had a good week at the fair. Along with other Caddo tribal members, they performed the Duck Dance and took 3rd place in the tribal dance competition at the fair!

Wichita Annual Dance

This Thursday, 14 August 2008, is the beginning of the Wichita Annual Dance. It will be a very special night for two of our Hasinai members. Trace and Thomas Totherow will make their official entry into the arena at that evening's dance. Please come out and support these two members of our organization, as well as their parents, Virginia and Jason!

Needless to say, the dance was a lot of fun and a great way to end the week of camp!
