The highly acclaimed White Oak Singers were the host drum at our 1999 Pow Wow.  The day started with a grand entry of all the dancers and color guard.  We were honored to have Mr. Clayton Old Elk, as our master of ceremonies.  He narrated each dance that was showcased between chukkers and at halftime. 

Between chukkers the players watched on horseback in awe!  Some spectators mentioned it was the first time they had ever seen a polo game or Pow Wow dancing.  And they loved it!  There were also Native American vendors displaying and selling their beautiful crafts and delicious food.

Instead of the usual silver trophies awarded to the players, dreamcatchers, rattles, and woven baskets were given, which thrilled the players.  A lance was given the Most Valuable Player, and a Mandala was given to the Best Playing Pony.

Joe Whatmough was nice enough to set-up his Tipi, displaying Native American artifacts inside.  Everyone was invited in to view them and spend time in the Tipi.  After the trophy presentation, Robbie "Swift Arrow" Daniel Rose performed an unforgettable hoop dance on the polo field that wowed the spectators!

It was a beautiful day and fun was had by all who attended!
