Fall also means the Fall Festival on the Rez. There are craft booths, a parade,
softball and LaCross tournaments, and lots of food booths selling an assortment of foods, including corn soup and Iroquois fry bread. I took a few photos after the parade. Here is one of Vicky Seneca and her grandson
Johnny. Johnny’s little brother,
only three, lost his life tragically a few months previous. Sister Seneca has become a dear friend
to us and is such a devoted grandmother.
Four-year-old Jairon Nephew and his cousin Hector Francis stopped long
enough to get a photo of them with their LaCross sticks. This was their first year in LaCross
and their parents would drive them up to two hours away for their games. Brother Nephew, Jairon’s dad states,
“Our team is by far the best.”
Even at four years old, these Seneca children are polishing their LaCross skills
on the Rez, where LaCross had its beginnings.
