RESUME-BIOGRAPHY OF RANDY EDMONDS

Speaker on American Indian History, Culture and Traditions, Master of Ceremonies, Comunity Organizer.

Recently our good friend Randy Edmonds, Kiowa-Caddo, spoke to the Soaring Eagles Dance Class group of Indian community and students of what his lifetime in the Pow Wow circle means to him. He related his experiences with the BIA Relocation program in Los Angles and later in San Diego. He emphasized the value and need for aspects of Tribal culture in the urban village of many different regions and Tribes. The Pow Wow is one way to find those important values and identity as Indian people, he told the group. He is also serving as the senior advisor for SCAIR.

Randy is very often invited to be the Emcee, Head Dancer or Head Gourd Dancer. He is now retired but he is still very active in the Pow Wow circle.

Attending many of the other SCAIR events are SCAIR senior advisor Randy Edmonds and his wife Bonnie. They have been at the Spring Bling, Traditional Indian Wedding, Seaworld Splash and the Soaring Eagles Dance Class and Regalia instruction. At one of the classes Randy said, “ The dancers family gets together and dresses the dancer, then the dancer is brought into the Pow Wow circle and introduced very often with a give away of gifts and hand-made items in respect and recognition of the honor shown to the family.”
