The Grand Entry ceremony at the 2009 Julyamsh Powwow and Encampment was a sea of colorful feathers, ribbons, beads and bells. More than 1,000 dancers, representing hundreds of tribes across the U.S. and Canada, took part in the 2009 Julyamsh celebration, photographed by Colin Mulvany/SR. On her Facebook page, Kerri Thoreson provides photos of the 2010 Julyamsh here. The 14th annual Julyamsh Powwow, staged by the Coeur d'Alene Indian Tribe, kicks off tonight and runs through Sunday at the Greyhound Park in Post Falls. Admission is free, with $5 for parking.
