Native Trails











On Thursday we went to Scottsdale to see the Native Trails celebration. Native American performers show the variety of dances that represent their culture. There was also Native foods, arts, crafts and jewelry. The kids really enjoyed seeing the vibrant dress and listening to the drumming while the men and women did their dances. We also tried a Navajo taco...it was a big fried flat bread with beans, lettuce, cheese and salsa piled on top.Ali and I quite enjoyed it. Maddy liked the sweet version...same flatbread but sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon. After the show we walked into Scottsdale and strolled through some of the art galleries. The kids loved the western paintings and the native sculptures, and collected photographs of their favorites to take with them.
