Chula
Vista 2014 Soaring Eagle POW WOW
The August 2 &
3, 2014 South Bay front Artists, Soaring Eagle two day 3rd annual Native
American pow wow will be a free event and celebration of life. This convenient
Marina location is excellent. The weather should be gorgeous! We thank
our event title sponsor, the Port District of San Diego.
These opportunities
to share our pride of our Soaring Eagles dancers in traditional tribal
culture and participation in public American Indian gatherings allow us
to endure and remain a vital cultural, political, social, and moral presence
in the San Diego region.

Summer
gatherings are traditional opportunities to visit with relatives and old
friends. Even in urban settings many of the hospitality and generosity
is a part of the recognition and public presentations that come into the
dance circle. This year we will honor Mr. Wilbur Solomon, Omaha tribal
member from Macy, Nebraska. Wilbur is a retired Navy Veteran from the
Korean War era. He has been instrumental in organizing and participating
with the Pacific Coast Indian Club and dance troupe. They have participated
from the early 1960s on the Barona's Band of tribal land. He is
also one of the earliest members of the Golden State Gourd Society and
can still be seen when those songs call the dancers to participate. He
has lived in San Diego for over 65 years and has many of his family still
residing here too.
We are fortunate to see self esteem and confidence demonstrated by all
our friends and relatives at these Pow wow dance and song experiences.
Our parents and volunteers are truly blessed to have our future and next
generation children eager to have a good time doing Indian things.
Finally, the Tonkawa
Elders club and the American Warriors Association, AIWA, are honored to
be invited to attend and participate on many levels at this event.
