Annlee Cakes Native American Regalia and Crafts will be there! Come and visit our native crafts styled items like earrings, chokers, belts, hat-bands, rattles, dream-catchers, Dance Fans, medicine bags and medicine pouches, bracelets, necklaces, and Ceremonial White Sage will be available, and a whole lot more.
We will also be sharing how to make natural vine dream catchers and seed beading jewelry at the Pow Wow.
A fun and enjoyable event for the entire family to enjoy!
Please remember?
When you are at a pow wow and you do see a seed beaded item you would like to try beading ask for permission first? As many are family treasures handed down generation upon generation. You will discover the Native American wearing the items usually is open and honored that you would like to re-create the finished product. Mass production to-day has filled the world with seed beaded items that appear as those we create for Regalia. The difference is easy if you examine the quality of the stitching and of course ask the one selling the item if they can craft the identical items pattern with YOUR CHOICE OF COLORS?
This simple test is needed even at booths within the pow wows as many booths carry the mass produced seed beading items but do not do the actual seed beaded crafting them self.
At every pow wow in my booths we always keep many projects being worked upon on display for people to see we are Real Genuine Seed Bead Crafters and can make their choice of colored beads into every pattern we display in a finished product.

Buffalo and New Man: An old story from the Fires!
Long ago a great fog covered that which the Buffalo knew.
And, the fog kept new man from seeing the wonder of the Buffalo.
Until an eagle started soaring from above and caused a great whirlwind
That lifted the great fog and the new man now saw the Buffalo.
But new man had no idea of what he was seeing?
He could see it was fast and strong and wondered much about it.
Until the Turtle strolled by from below and caused a great hole to appear
That filled with living waters from on above, and the Buffalo stopped to drink.
New man pondered upon this? The air became chilly and cold winds blew.
He could see the living waters turning white and hard and wondered much about it.
Until the beaver arrived and with great teeth chewed a hole right through.
That allowed Buffalo to keep drinking, and new man sat and watched it all.
Then new man heard a growl and was thinking Bear had arrived?
But, no where could new man see the Bear, and wondered much about it.
Until new man realized the growl was from within and he wondered much about it.
As new man found his body now was very very cold and felt numb when touched.
New man fell to the white ground and pondered upon the wonderment of it all?
Until a great herd of Coyotes arrived and circled around a Buffalo.
He could see they were sneaky and yet wise to encircle the Buffalo drinking waters.
New man was surprised when they pounced and brought the Buffalo to the white ground.
Long time past as new man trembled with cold watching the Coyotes eat.
Until as satisfied they left as they came, and new man wondered much about it?
Walking to the Buffalo new man saw what was left of the hide.
Picking it upon himself he felt warmth from the power of the Buffalo.
To this day new men all seek to wear the great Buffalo Hide for warmth and pride.
But, found hunting himself was superior to watching the Coyotes eat the Buffalo.
And, then new man discovered the meat was good and the bones made great things.
To this day we Honor the Great Buffalo who was White as Snow that Day.
As I heard: So have I shared.

And I share to the Nations that which I have received:

Yesterday, my new book in paperback will be coming to Amazon books and joining the Kindle Edition.
Annlee Cakes Native American Regalia and Crafts shares about Native Traditions and Culture as applied to Native Indian traditional and authentic natural vines dreamcatchers.
We go out and collect the vines. Remove the leaves and weave the body which forms the circle. Then we hang them to dry for about six months. After they are dried we weave the web work with sinew and decorate each one by how they form. Natural vine dreamcatchers each form they one-of-a-kind final look as the webbing is wound and crafted. No two are ever alike!
ORAL TRADITION: Dreamcatchers Story
"One day, a spider was quietly spinning his web in his own space. It was beside the sleeping space of Nokomis, the great known grandmother.
Every day, Nokomis watched the spider at work, quietly spinning away. One day as she was watching him, her grandson came in. "Nokomis-iya!" he shouted, glancing at the spider. He stomped over to the spider, picked up a stick and went to hit it.
"No-keegwa," the old lady whispered, "don't hurt him." "Nokomis, why do you protect the spider?" asked the little boy.
The old woman smiled, but did not respond right away. When the boy left, the spider went to the old woman and thanked her for saving his life.
He said to her, "For many days you have watched me spin and weave my web. You have admired my work. In return for saving my life, I will give you a gift." He smiled his special spider smile and moved away, spinning as he went.
Soon the moon glistened on a magical silvery web moving gently in the window. "See how I spin?" he said. "See and learn, for each web will snare bad dreams. Only good dreams will go through the small hole. This is my gift to you. Use it so that only good dreams will be remembered. The bad dreams will become hopelessly entangled in the web."
One of the old Ojibwa traditions was to hang a dream catcher in their homes. They believe that the night air is filled with dreams.
Dream Catchers were originally made from Weeping Willow, Honey Suckle and Grape Vines.
Today many are made from metal rings wrapped with leather and decorated: While pretty, they are not traditional!

My Native American Trading Post is for sharing and knowledge about the Native American Culture and Pow Wows.
Native American Indian Crafts
Annlee Cakes Native American Regalia and Crafts shares about Native Traditions and Culture as applied to Native Indian Crafts.
Native Americans have been crafting for centuries and beyond. Basically all their clothes were also crafted from hides. For summer wear most hides were scrapped clean of fur, and for winter they kept the fur on but reversed the wearing so the fur was against the body to keep heat in.
Crafting was natural to the Native Indians. Women crafted designs and made utensils from the horns and bones of animals the Warriors brought to the meals. Warriors crafted with leather, sinew and feathers and even with stones or hair braided into useful things. All decorations were a craft.
When new items became available the Natives crafted with them. Examples are: Metals, beads of wood, beads of horns, glass beads brought by traders.
Today, we all can see the wonders of Native American Indian Crafts by attending the fantastic PowWows held all over the United States. Seeing the time people have spent to create their Dancing Regalia is marvelous when you come to understand it was not done overnight. Some have spent years to build their Circle Items.
Moreover, at the Pow Wow you will see many venders displaying crafted items for sale. I do not know of even one Powwow without venders showing off their wares like the traders of old. But, with tents and displays!
The list of crafted items is endless: From bows and arrows to eating utensils. Encompassing decorating one's horse to decorating one's Teepee. Making knives, clubs and even flutes or pipes is all Native American Indian Crafts. Many women crafted foot wear and clothes. Pots made from clay have been discoved for centuries.
Today, crafted items include earrings, jewelry, rattles, Head Wear, Colorful and gorgeous Dance Regalia and even fancy dance shawls. Like I said the list is truly endless.
The most beautiful hand crafted items came after the introduction of beads, and especially colored beads. However, long before glass beads appeared?
Originally, Native American Indians crafted beads that were carved from natural materials like shells,coral,turquoise and stones or the metals like copper, silver, wood, amber, ivory, and animal bones, horns, and some were discovered made from teeth. Glass beads were not used until the fur traders brought to the Natives in trade for furs. Glass beads quickly became part of American Indian Crafts culture. Today glass beads, particularly fine seed beads, are the primary materials for traditional beaders of many tribes and adorn the finest of Regalia you may view in the Circle.
I enjoy crafting with seed beads and with leather.
I hope you enjoyed! Mugwa...Annlee

Kaw Nation Pow Wow was a very rewarding and fun outing!
We just returned home from two days at the Kaw Nation Pow Wow in Oklahoma where we displayed products from Annlee Cakes Native American Regalia and Crafts.
One special thing happened that excited me! On Saturday morning a gentleman in his forties talked to Bob about his books on display. They discussed HRAY-MAH Jesus Christ is Coming!, during most of their conversation. He bought the book.
Now Bob sells many books so this was not the interesting excitement? That evening around 6pm the gentleman returned, He was excited!
As he explained: During the day he sat and read the First Volume of a three volume set and said: “This book is unbelievable. I have never read someone writing like this in a style unlike all former Christian books I have read. It was like you were sitting next to me and talking to me as I read your book. Bob! I did not tell you this morning that I am an Ordained Minister and your book has touched my life.” Bob smiled and they both sat and talked some more. Yet! It was even greater? For another also bought book one and came back that night to get Volume two! (A future sharing perhaps?)
He had returned, due that he had finished reading Volume one and now bought Hray-Mah Gods Word To A Man (Volume 2) from Bob. That was neat!
Bob once more autographed this second book: But, to the gentleman’s son as requested by the buyer. This interested Bob and they both talked once more for a very long time. I watched as Bob autographed a limited Print of Winter Warrior to the gentleman’s son as a Gift. That was exciting to me!
While getting my own regalia on for dancing in the Great Circle I discovered I had forgotten some of it on the table back home. A first for Ole Annlee. Especially forgetting my Dance Fan! Nevertheless, all turned out ok because I simply borrowed one off our displays and went out dancing.
A blessing for Our Booth also took place! A very well known Elder Native American stopped by and asked if he could sit down. Of course we replied! As he sat there he started to open the long precious bag he was carrying and with gentle care removed six Native Flutes and set them down in a pattern on the table next to him. Without a word spoken or exchanged he began playing his flutes. Changing from one flute to another and the music soared through the air even to the Spirits there. He played one song upon each flute as he sat with us, and as a crowd formed around the booth listening.
He is known as “Flute Man” to the entire Nations.
Flute Man blessed us with his music, and returned four more times to sit, visit and play for us. This was a Great Honor and very Special Blessing upon our booth, crafts and us.
At a Pow Wow one can never predict what will occur next? A young Native gentleman had his booth right next to ours’. He was doing washable and safe tattoo art. Bob spent shared time with this young Native Craftsman, and they became friends. A rewarding adventure around the corner has begun.
I hope you enjoy this short sharing:
Mugwa! Annlee
