DOWAGIAC, Mich. - Starting with a simple tram ride through campgrounds, the Kee Mein Kaa Pow Wow, meaning Huckleberry Season, opens to drumming, dancing and Native American groups from all over the country.
This 50-year tradition is about celebrating people and their crafts--from photography, clothing and hand-worked traditional flutes.
In fact, the Pokagon Band Potowatomi Tribe has grown since its inception in the 2000s, gaining in land and people.
"This is one of my favorite pow wows to come to. It's a beautiful pow wow, very spiritual--these people are beautiful to be around," said flute artisan John Habert.
