🪶🇺🇸 WHEN WARRIORS LEAD WARRIORS…🇺🇸🪶

The drums begin.

The arena grows quiet.

And then… they enter.

Native American Women Warriors—standing proudly as Color Guard, carrying the colors and leading our Veterans during the Honor Song.

Step by step.

Warrior beside warrior.

Generation beside generation.

The eagle feathers move with the rhythm of the drums. The flags rise. The Veterans stand tall.

And for a moment, the arena becomes more than a gathering.

It becomes a place where service, sacrifice, culture, and honor meet.

These women carry the strength of those who came before them—and the responsibility to carry that strength forward.

Our Veterans have defended a nation.

Our Native people have protected a culture.

And here, together, we honor both.

🇺🇸 This is what service looks like.
🪶 This is what culture looks like.
❤️ This is what honor looks like.

At the 6th Annual Onslow Veterans Pow Wow we don’t just tell the story of our warriors.

We watched them walk it.

Join us November 7 and 8 at the American Legion in Jacksonville NC!
