NATIVE SNOWSNAKE TOURNAMENT AND MUSEUM
On February 2, we took my grandson, Brandon and Jordan to the annual Snowsnake Tournament not far from our home. The boys enjoyed seeing the men toss the Snowsnakes down the snow track. After the men had moved on to another track, we took the boys to the Native Museum on the north side of the grounds. The wonders they saw there delighted them. It certainly was a wonderful day filled with Native history, tradition and a lot of fun.
