Post by: Manky Monkey on November 29, 2008, 06:13:06 PM Hiya. Nice pics. I went to a similar thing over here a couple of years ago at Claverton Manor in Bath, Somerset. It's a museum of American culture, focusing on the gold rush/frontier days. I was out for a ride on the trike with a girlfriend & we stopped in. It just happened to be the annual gathering of Americana enthusiasts. In Britain that usually means middle aged blokes dressed up as cowboys, but this time it was serious re-enactment groups, representing all the major Red Indian tribes in their various traditional outfits & giving displays of crafts, dancing, & day to day living. Quite interesting & made a pleasant change to guys in check shirts & spurs.

The guy without the shirt was Northern Warrior Traditonal.. most of the rest were southern style. Title: Re: Pow Wow Pics! Post by: Manky Monkey on November 29, 2008, 08:24:20 PM Are the Northerners tougher then? :)
