There was a dinner first, then about 90 minutes of dancing. Buffalo Creek Singers (seated on benches in the center) sang for the dancers.

Amber Reimondo of the Mohawk Turtle Clan saw the event posted on Facebook and decided to attend.

Some dances were performed in groups, with dancers circling the singers.

Dancers take their cues from the drums. Here, LongLeafs with the Buffalo Creek Singers plays the drum.

Social dances, such as the round dance, rabbit dance, old moccasin dance and canoe or fishing dance, are for the enjoyment of all people. Edgar Ahosene (seated, left) and LongLeafs of the Buffalo Creek Singers play for the paired dancers.
