This summer makes idren's 7th (formal) year of both celebrating alternatives to U.S. Holydazes and not celebrating U.S. Holydazes. Each fourth of youlie, ini spend time wi n8v bruddah/sistah. Every year ini see somethings that am supposed to see, needed to see. This year, at their 83rd Pow Wow, there were four especially memorable experiences. One, the Gombey dancers-Bermudian afro-amerN8Vs returned. Two, afro-n8v brothers and sisters, young & old came again -dem ah caryee da ways of de crown & idren saw it. Three, brother Annawon spoke some necessary words about 711 & 'rules' that i needed to hear. Four, sister Lorin, made a upspirit gesture during a yut's dance that struck me in my heart (last 'money' dance idren danced was with Fon of Mankon visit 2 winters ago-bconx live). Pure livity.
