Katie is very excited. For most of the year, she lives in a city and goes by the name 'Katie.' In September, however, her family travels to the Nanticoke powwow, where she reunites with many of her relatives and is called Red Bird. The Nanticoke people gather each year to celebrate their Native American heritage with get-together including singing, dancing and eating of traditional foods. At the powwow, Red Bird wears the traditional clothing of the Nanticoke people, and she even has a part in the dancing celebrations as a shawl dancer. Before she leaves, she buys a beaded Nanticoke headband to remind her of the powwow and her heritage.
