Tomorrow at 10 am, the annual United Indians of All Tribes Pow Wow starts at Discovery Park. People come from all over the world for the dances, competitions, fry bread, Indian tacos, and serious Indianness. For a sample, check this video made by Kelly O and Pearl Dragon from Champagne Champagne:

Tomorrow at 2 pm, Mayor McGinn will lead a ceremony to rename the road that runs through the Park after Bernie Whitebear who, until his death in 2000, was considered the unofficial parent to "every Indian kid in Seattle."
