Interesting bit of history on this spot. From the research I have done on the family history. My ancestors were in this first wave of Creek Indians of 1828.

Cone Game

The late traditional Chief David Salmon conducts and referees the game he brought back from the past to play at the Powwow. The Powwow is dedicated to his memory this year. It’s a game of strength between two players.

Rock Art

I took this photo yesterday, and awoke this morning to hear of the death of a good friend. Bob Maguire of Fairbanks Alaska. Drum Keeper of Soaring Eagle Drum, a man very respected and loved throughout the Native community of Alaska. Bob and I worked as Chairmen on the Midnight Sun Powwow and were drummers in the drum Walking Hawk. He was a friend, who i respected immensely.

My Staff

This was given to me by my father in law, years ago in the late sixties. It was in the safe keeping of my brother in law for years. It has now been returned to me by his wife. I will forever keep them both in my memory and will carry it into the circle when given the chance. In memory of Kenneth J Walton, and John L Walton. Thank you Kippy Walton for returning it to me. Kenneth told me it came from Peru. It’s a beautiful piece of wood, with a lot of attached memories.
