Julie, who has won two dance competitions at native powwows this summer, explained last week that grand entry dancers “pray for the memory of someone who died and think about that person as they dance.” During the blanket dance, per- formed around a blanket, onlookers are invited to join in and throw coins and bills onto the blanket in memory of the deceased.

Cochrane said anyone who couldn’t attend the blanket dance but would like to ake a donation in Shields’ memory can drop off their contribution at his home, 23 Rexway Drive, until next Wednesday.
