In the 1970's Esselen Lodge hosted a show of the Koshare Indian Dancers at the Monterey Penisula College Gymnasiam.  The Koshare Indian Dancers are members of Scout Troop 232 and Venturing Crew 2230 from La Junta Colorado.
 
The founder James Francis "Buck" Burshears (1909 - 1987) became the first Eagle Scout in southeastern Colorado. Scoutmaster of the Koshare Indian Dancers from 1933 until his death in 1987, Buck was awarded the highest honors given to an adult Scouter - the Silver Beaver, the Silver Antelope, the Silver Buffalo, and the Distinguished Eagle Scout award. A Paul Harris Fellow in the Rotary Club, Buck was also blood brother to the Chippewa, adopted into the Blackfoot tribe, received an honorary Doctorate for his work with youth, and was awarded the President's Volunteers in Action Award by President Ronald Reagan.

About 45 members of the Koshare were traveling the west coast putting on shows.  At the mic is Scoutmaster Buck Burshears.

The Koshare shows are done in low light with color spot lights and we were not allowed to use camera flash.

I spent the day with the Koshare in San Francisco.  This shot is from the north end of the Golden Gate bridge on a cold foggy day in June.

The Koshare spent two nights in the Scout house in Carmel.  This is the Koshare bus at one of the beaches on 17 Mile Drive.
