John Blackfeather Jeffries, Vigil member of our Lodge, and well known spokesman of the Saponi band of the Occaneechi Nation, was again the MC for Spring Powwow. Blackfeather and Eastern Bull again expressed appreciation for the respect to American Indian culture shown by Lodge Dancers, and encouraged more to come out and give dance a try.
