Left behind is his belt of silver, Far away in Navajo Land; Discarded lie the Uttle moccasins, Soft, for treading the desert sand. Overalls, and gay striped sweater, Cowboy hat on his childish head; (One-Little-Boy thinks this is better) Cowboy boots, in moccasins' stead. Swing and sway on your painted pony, So unlike your Indian steed; Lights, and music, and distant laughter, Make this a gala Tide indeed. Soon, when the Pow-Wow games are finished, Winners hailed with the white man's cheer, One-Little-Boy must jOU1'ney homeward, Dreaming of Pow-Wow time next year. j THE SOUVENIR PROGRAM SOUTHWEST A/J-!Jn~ POW-WOW Published Annually by Pow-Wow, Inc.
