The Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate tribe conducted its 149th annual Wacipi, also known as a powwow, during the Fourth of July weekend in South Dakota. It is the second-oldest Wacipi in the nation. The tribe chose this date because at the time it was illegal for them to practice their religious ceremonies because they spoke another language. They could pass off their cultural celebration as a Fourth of July festivity. (Mike Lakusiak/News21)
