Indian Heritage Festival 2015

As we walked towards the festival 
We hear the drumbeats and the chanting 
Soon we were close enough to view the dancers
Fantastic costumes - red, blue, green, yellow 
All the dancers were wearing feathers and pieces of metal
which jangled at they danced 
Surrounded by onlookers the dancing 
reached a fever pitch 
The winners were announced 
Later, buffalo burgers and a look around 
at Native American crafts 
Great way to spend a warm Saturday in June
