We of the Brown Family of the Bear Clan are encouraging people to come and support this epic event that will surely bring joy and happiness into your heart. Many of our boys and girls are stationed overseas and one of the non-profits that the Brown Family of the Bear Clan supports is Military Moms in Action. It is important that we as a Community come together at this Event to share in this life long tradition of Gathering together called a Pow Wow.
