| Caption: | A "men's traditional" style dancer of the Oglala Sioux (Lakota) tribe enters the arena during the Saturday night "grand entry" of the 20th Annual Oglala Nation Pow Wow on the Pine Ridge Reservation in Pine Ridge, SD. on Saturday, Aug. 6, 2005. The Pow Wow is a 4 day long traditional celebration of Native American and Lakota culture that draws visitors from around the world. The Pine Ridge Reservation has historically been a place of tragedy for the Oglala Sioux (Lakota) population that calls it home. On Dec. 29, 1890, the 7th Cavalry disarmed and then slaughtered 300 Lakota men, women and children in what became known as the Wounded Knee Massacre.
Today, away from the headlines, the reservation?s population of more than 20,000 continues to suffer in ways that are less obvious. With unemployment rates greater than 85%, alcoholism above 65%, suicide rates more than double the national average, and rampant teen gang violence, the Lakota people of the Pine Ridge reservation continue to endure, in a county that is consistently ranked the poorest in America.
This ceremony is a visually stunning reminder of the traditional Lakota and Native American culture. A Pow Wow is all at once a reaffirmation of Native Americans' spiritual connection with Mother Earth, a celebration of traditional Lakota culture (including dance, music, art and cuisine) as well as a chance to renew old tribal friendships or to begin new ones. It is the time of year when the Pine Ridge reservation blossoms and for a few days, it thrives!
