On Saturday, Native American artists, performers
and educators celebrated the ninth annual Gateway to Nations
Native American Heritage Celebration at Floyd Bennett Field in
Marine Park.
The event was produced by the Redhawk Indian Arts Council and
featured The Aztec Fire Dancers (left). Others joined in for
the "men’s fancy war dancing" (above) – spinning to
a lightning-fast drumbeat.
The event brought together all generations of families in celebration
of native culture.
Visitors enjoyed the live bird of prey exhibit, mechanical bull-riding
contest, petting zoo and pony rides.
