n the way to Pow Wow we stopped off in McKinney for a Blue and Gold Banquet for Pack 303. The Kiwikaman dance team performed to the delight of the Cubs. We also did an Arrow of Light ceremony and a Webelos Crossover Ceremony. There were 19 members of our chapter present and some returned home after the Blue and Gold and the rest continued on to Pow Wow.
Pow Wow was a great success, and everyone had a great time. We took classes such as, Face Painting, Fancy Dance, Straight Dance, Traditional Dance, Grass Dance, Beadwork, Introduction to Dance, Ceremonial Arrow Making, Native American Flute, Basic Ceremony Clothing, Bustle Construction, Flint Knapping, and Ceremonies for Youth. Many members took the classes to get trained.
There were many competitions including dancing, and ceremonies. In the dance competitions there were seven dancers: Mark Henry, Jared Roberts, Michael Redd, Zach Rowen, Phillip Murtaugh, Shane Potter, and Drew Wells. Four of the dancers placed:
- Novice Grass/Phillip 1st
- Novice Fancy/Drew 1st
- Expert Grass/Jared 3rd

ver the past couple of years, the Dance team has become the highlight of the Okiciyapi Chapter, and just as well, Mikanakawa Lodge. As the popularity of the Kiwikaman Dance Team grows, so does the need for new members. Without dedicated arrowmen, this well appreciated exposition would not be successful. The need for organized leads is also imperative. Without the hard work of our leads, advisors, and officers, the dance team would not function nearly as smooth. The dance team is the most significant means of public exposure for the chapter, and helps bring a source of entertainment to public events. Keep up the good reputation.
