AB roll of this film, what I'm assuming is happening, is that there is a fair going on? And, along with other activities, the local Native American tribe has activities for the kids to enjoy? Didn't see a LOT of them there, and the activities are pretty much "face paint", bandana with feathers" and some games, no like, elders telling stories, What, you wanted authenticity? GET OUTTA HERE.
