Sunwatch Indian Village

For a city of less than 150,000, Dayton is truly filled with sights to see. It had been years since I had been to Sunwatch Indian Village.  We went for a summer pow-wow, which featured authentic Native Americans in full garb, practicing dances that have been passed down through the generations. The kiddos marveled over the colors, textures and sounds.

 

We sat in a replica of a pre-historic hut and talked about where each of us would sleep if we had been a Native American family. In pure Carson fashion, this is where he went. Rather than choosing a bed, he determined that he would have stayed awake to peer out of the hole and "watch for robbers." 

If only every tribe had a Carson on watch—to fend off those greedy cowboys!
