The Bear Dance it

Lilja's favorite weekend of the year is here. It is the Bear Dance weekend. She has gotten a , ribbon dress, ascarf and a new brooch this year to add to her beautiful shawl. and she seems to have gained a lot of self-confidence already within one day of dancing. the bear dance is a celebration of life and is honoring the women of the tribe the women are the ones choosing the men to dance with them and the men cannot refuse. I am just so impressed and proud of our little girl. She carries herself with such poise and grace. So little and yet so grown up already.

Day two. New dress, new pin and scarf . And momma made braids !! Just so beautiful ! And finally so put together . Next year moccasins !!
