My Kohkum and her pow wow dress

Just this past Christmas, my niece's two children got into an accident, they are only 4 and 5 years old, my grandson Marcus had a surgery to repair some damage to his stomach and my granddaughter, Michelle walked away without a scratch. This was a very scary time for me as well as for the parents, my grandchildren who I refer to as My Moshum and My Kohkum are doing fine now. I am currently making my Kohkum a Powwow outfit and hopefully she will learn about the Traditions of the First Nations in that way... even though I try to teach them both a lot of the old ways it is always nice to learn with others. The reason that I am making my Kohkum an outfit is to give thanks to the Creator to let my Moshum and my Kohkum live healthy lives cause it could have been alot worse.. My Parents always say that "while you are alive, you should be proud of your body and make it beautiful by wearing beautiful clothing, make your body dance while you are healthy - in this way you are giving thanks to the Creator for giving you life - Miyo - Pimatisowin". My Kohkum is so excited about her new dress but my Moshum is already asking when he will be getting his. By the way there is protocol to introducing the children to the powwow, my Parents gave away a Horse and lots of gifts and money at a Powwow in Onion Lake when My niece Charmaine was a Princess for Mosquito and Red Pheasant reserves.
