"The past and the future merged Saturday as the Nottawaseppi Huron Band of Potawatomi hosted its annual powwow gathering on the tribe's Pine Creek Indian Reservation.
The event marks an acknowledgment of the simple ways of the past and a way for a tribe with an ever-expanding reservation and a modern casino to honor traditions that go back to "time immemorial," as Tribal Executive Director Aaron Payment described them."It's important to make sure that we don't forget the older days of our ancestors and what struggles they had to go through," Tribal Council Vice-Chairman Jamie Stuck said. "We have it much easier today and we need to be thankful to our ancestors for the path that they provided and started for us.""
