The bright, vibrant colors were impossible to ignore at the Attean Family Pow Wow in Gray on Saturday. Robert Allen came to Maine Wildlife Park to wear a bright-blue headdress and traditional clothing during the first day of the two-day event. Dancers wore bright pink shawls or red-and-pink rope belts as they showed their traditional moves. And Gray’s Bob Wood wore his traditional leathers, made for him 64 years ago by his grandmother, as he took in the proceedings.
The colors will again be on full display Sunday for the final day of the event. Photographs by Brianna Soukup/Staff Photographer
