When Dean was an Eagle Scout, he did a lot of ceremonial dancing. He was good enough that often he was the only caucasian at a powwow ~ having been personally invited. As he became involved in college and then work and then a family, he let this part of his life drop away.
Now he has begun to enjoy it again. Although I have seen him dance, his main interest is in preserving old authentic Native American art pieces. These are his latest finds ~ I have told you before, he is the king of the yard sale.
Dream Catcher ~ made to bless the house and bring good fortune our way.
Ceremonial shield ~ he used to do a dance called the shield dance.
Breast plate ~ worn for ceremonial purposes. The rattle is used for percussion during the dance.
