Recently, we went to an animal refuge. Every year they host a pow wow. Native people sing, dance, celebrate and educate people about their culture. There are vendors, too. They sell furs, skins, handmade instruments, crafts, jewelry and other things.
We always enjoy seeing and learning about the animals, too.
This was not our first visit and it certainly will not be our last!
Drumming circle and traditional song.
There are plenty of walkways and trails.

What it would look like if a bear were to eat Ian feet first.
Nice kitty!
We prefer to see animals in the wild, of course, but these animals were not just taken from their natural habitat for the sole purpose of being watched in cages. Most were injured, some orphaned. It's good to learn more about them by seeing them up close. We talk to the kids about why the animals are here and to not attempt to capture a badger or mountain lion to bring home and put in a cage!
