Last minute changes to the venue due to weather did not prevent almost 200 Native American tribal members and guests from participating in the Natchitoches Tribe’s Inter-Tribal Powwow on Saturday, Nov. 9.
The Grand Entry featured a color guard comprised of NTL military members of the LA National Guard and NTL veterans, followed by Tribal leaders and visiting dignitaries.
Vice Chief Jeff LeBrun carried the Natchitoches Tribe flag welcoming guests and dancers dressed in ribbon shirts, jingle dresses, and traditional regalia as they entered to traditional songs performed by the AC Woodlands drummers.
