HEAP BIG INDIAN POW WOW AUGUST 15/16 SAT/SUN
Lone Star Lakes will once again tremble under the moccasins of the Nansemond Indians dancing to the rhythmic beat of drums and incantations of those whirling and twirling colored beads, feathers and deer hide garments. The dances may not be as much for rain as for hopes that the City Council, under the misdirection of Bennett and Brown will once again hear the pleas of those who wish for a village of teepees in our forest. No doubt the Mayor, as she has for years, will be there to promise her assistance in gathering the strength of Council to make this tourist attraction come alive. Sure it is hot in August but you won’t be dancing…find shade or a seat in the bleachers. And bring wampum for soft cold drinks, warm food, and souvenirs. If you are not there you can count on Chief Bass to haunt your dreams with scary Indian bow and arrow attacks. Help us create the Indian village of Mattanock.

This year Heap Big Chief Johnson will make water run uphill from Western Branch to Chuckatuck. So who needs a rain dance. She could now work on a bridge so we can visit our tribal brothers from Driver. Ugh!
I agree that it is well past time to provide a "land-grant" to the original people who where here before there even was any Suffolk History! We spend millions each year on Suffolk History, but none on the real history of our community! The SCCA has never given a business plan, yet has been given millions, so what gives?
Mayor Johnson needs to bring her supporters together and tell it like it is. Brown needs to stay home with his friend Bennett and we need to approve the Indian Villiage NOW! Mayor, keep your promise!
Year after year at the beginning of every Pow Wow someone comments over the public address about the number of eagles circling above the audience observing the event. I think they are buzzards but heck if the Big Kahuna thinks they are who am I to disagree. Be they eagles or buzzards any bird circling over me is not a good sign.
If great bird circle overhead, no blame me for white hair.
If great white pigeon fall from sky, no more wampum grow on tree.
If big chief white mother no come to pow wow, bad medicine for village.
If you no trust government you join-m tribe.
