Jackie Robinson | Wise Boomer Chic Attends the Native American Festival in East Point, Georgia

Native American Festival in East Point, Georgia

My little town of East Point, Georgia is full of surprises. The Arts and Community Affairs director does an excellent job bringing diverse entertainment to the community.

After watching a documentary the other day on the influences of Native American music on African music and how the two fused together, I was pleasantly surprise to hear Native American music coming from the East Point town center a day after watching Rumble, The Indian Who Rocked the World on Netflix.

You are looking at Rev. S. Cherokee Hill, Chief Medicine Woman (wearing headband) for the American Cherokee Confederacy of Georgia. I captured this short video as she was talk with the older gentleman. Unfortunately, I did not get his name (will try to find out later). I do know the Chief say he was an Olympic Gold Medalist. You can see the medals hanging around his shoulders.

The other woman is Lucille Dobrin, Actress-Singer. It just amazing how you never know the people you’re gonna meet when you get out in the sunshine. Everybody loves the sunshine! Ms. Dobrin was born on August 18, 1935 in Homestead, Florida, USA. She is well know an actress in The Money Pit (1986), South Beach (1993) and Detective Extralarge (1991). Not pictured in the video, but can be found on the tripofchange.com website, is George, a Native American who was gracious enough to engage in conversation. And, he gave me a parting gift!
