or wheat into flour.  

Grist Mill

The bottom of the grist mill.

This house was painted with the only
3 colors that "Sears & Roebuck" had
at the time.  It was 2 stories with 2
bedrooms upstairs.  The fireplace in the
middle had openings on both sides of the house.

Native American dancers at the
Festival of Native People in
Cherokee, North Carolina.

An Indian taco.  It had fry bread
on the bottom, a mixture of ground meat
and beans on top of that, then lettuce, tomato
and onion.  It was not spicy at all.

Pole Flyers.  4 men climbed to the top.  There
were ropes hanging down almost to the ground.
The four men spun the top around, which wrapped
the rope around the pole.  Then a 5th man climbed
to the top.  One man stood on the top and played
a flute like instrument and a drum, and sort of
stomped around.  While he stood up there
the other 4 men fell off the sides, tied to the ropes
and swung around the pole hanging upside down.
When they got to the ground they flipped
themselves up and put their feet on the ground.
Then the man who stood up there the whole time
slid down another rope.  It was pretty amazing
to watch.
