Sesquicentennial embrace

De Soto got a taste of Western culture Sept. 15 with a re-enactment of a Pony Express mail bag re-enactment and a powwow from the Kansas City based Indian Council of Many Nations.

Five-year-old Cielo Chayre of Kansas City, Mo., watches the feet of 16-year-old Hail Barnett, also of Kansas City, Mo., as the two girls and 5-year-old Mida LittleEagle, Kansas City, Kan., circle the De Soto Community Center gym floor during a round dance soon after the start of Saturday's powwow. The metropolitan area cultural organization, Indian Council of Many Nations, had the powwow in De Soto as part of the city's sesquicentennial.
