Seven local dancers from the Boy Scout Order of the Arrow were backed up by the beat of the drummers, William Peterson and Chip Stone, who also doubled as the wolf. Dancers were Sam Fletcher, Scott Hanson, Jim Hanson. Garen Thatcher, Barry Howell, Eric Anderson and Taylor Drake. Introductions were by Taylor Oldroyd. Costumes handmade (including beadwork) by performers, were vibrant and authentically impressive. The dance came alive with the jangle of bells, stompdrumbeat. ing feet and Under the original tutoring of Alma Banks, the traditional dances often told a tale, occasionally represented war, pride or need, and often signified happiness and festivity. The "war dance" was loud and intense with a momentum of buildup while the ever-poundi- chief's dance brought strength and dignity to the dance. The "spear dance" was flamboyant and raucous. The "Aztec dance," performed Ly Jim Hanson, was an impressive display of moves and dance angles. All seven "Indian" dancers ioined in a circle for the "challenge dance." they took the feathers for their competitive performance in center ring.

As hoop upon hoop was added to the dance routine the excitement seemed to build. And when each of the four dancers had drawn together their 22 hoops, the beauty and spectacle was breathtaking. The realism and aura of the event seemed to enthrall onlookers who followed the program with questions. Where did the drum come from? And the answer was stretched over the top. How many of these National Brotherhood groups are there, to which the reply was 600 in the U.S. And to the question: how often do they get together nationally, the reply was, "Every two years." In picking up the lore of the Indian, the introduction stressed brotherhood, cheerfulness and service. Jean Whitaker was chairman of the event assisted by Dot Tackett and Colleen Knudsen.
