Native American Month

November was Native American Month and Texas State had the opportunity of hosting a special ceremony for the event. Outside LBJ, in the area right outside of the Starbucks, people were dressed up in elaborate costumes and head pieces. It was really fun and interesting to watch. They were dressed exactly as if you had invisioned the Indians 100 years ago. Two men played the drums while a group of people, including the audience, danced around in a circle to the music. An older man also told a few stories that had been passed down from tribe to tribe and all the stories had some sort of moral meaning or important message. Stands or booths were also set up around LBJ that sold Indian jewlery and many other things. It was interesting to watch. I got to see a very different culture and learn about the Native Americans. Coming to college has definitely opened my eyes to the many different people here.
