#PowwowWednesday is here again! I said it last week, but I truly am grateful to everyone who captures so beautifully the images and video out on the powwow trail each week. It's one of my favourite parts of Monday to catch up on all the recaps, recollections and sharing from powwows nationwide.

This week, I'm feelin' Thomas Jay Bruyere's photos from the 26th Annual Seafair Indian Days Powwow that took place in Seattle this past weekend.

The United Indians of All Tribes Foundation holds this annual celebration on the beautiful grounds of Discovery Park, Seattle, Washington and draws an average of 500 dancers, 25 drum groups, and 10,000 spectators.

Thomas captured many of the dancers in motion:

Stunning!
