I used the sketch from Stuck?! for this layout of my grandson and his friends.
They are wearing regalia at a Jiingtamok (Native American pow-wow). Regalia is handmade either by the dancer or, since these little guys are too young to totally make there own, specially for the dancer. The boys are fancy dancers, but as they grow can also be traditional dancers, grass dancers or do other types of dance, each with it's own type of regalia - buckskin, feathers, beadwork, etc. They put their hearts into their dancing and following the traditions of their ancestors.
I am also entering this in Inkido's April challenge "Our Roots."
