Francis Bad Eagle and his Eagle Claw Society hosted one of the season's final yearly powwows at Edmonton's Airport Hangar along Kingsway Avenue from Oct. 17 to 18.
Close to 170 dancers and hundreds more visitors crowded the hangar to view or participate in the late season event which attracted people from all over Alberta in addition to a few out-of-province guests .
The powwow, long a dream of it's founder, Bad Eagle, is not like the competition powwows with the big cash prizes. This one draws people who appreciate the occasion for traditional and spiritual reasons as well as the fact that it provides an opportunity for those attending to cross paths and connect with some people they don't get to see all that often.
