As the procession of silk, gold and silver laden costumes passed by, the distinctive tinkling sound of a different kind of silver followed. The members of the Woodland Confederacy paraded behind, sporting their finest matchcoats, ribbons, paint and trade silver and guarding the train from the depradations of the boldest beggar. Even on a day of no significance, many of their costumes rival a fop's ensemble, so imagine how resplendent they were on this glorious occasion!
