Hello, I hope this thread will be kept in CHIT CHAT as I don't think it will fit much in Pow Wow Talk, which is where I was going to put it.
I was wondering if any of you out there in pw.com land know of anyone running for Miss Indian World in April?? If so, how are they doing? Frantic? Still getting things together? Or on a roll, like butter, and waiting for the day?? I think my ex-neice is running for the title this year. She's only 17, I think she's a junior in HS! I don't know for sure, but that's what the pw committee told me. I've never known anyone to run for something like this, and holy mackaroni! Isn't the entire idea just daunting?? :) I'm hoping you'll share some thoughts on the subject with me. :)

Well, I think Tigerlily (Cepa) and April were both closer to 21 or so when they won. But I guess if she (and her folks) think she can handle go for it! Good luck - you may have a "queen" in your family other than you!

You lost me there for a sec, ndnqt!
![]() I meant, my EX neice. She's not my neice anymore. Actually, I didn't marry her uncle, so technically, I guess, well, I just know who she is. :) The MIW's have all been in that age range?? Well, hmm, what's to handle? Travelling? Pictures? That doesn't sound too hard... :)

pwchic, really?? Holy, that is a lot of things to do. You'd do all this BEFORE you ran for that title???
I'm sort of lost there, because wouldn't it help to get that MIW title and then do all of this?? Or would you not do that because you wouldn't want anyone to think you wouldn't have been able to do it without being MIW??? *whew* I hope that made sense!

I had a post goin earlier about what Natives would like to see come from Miss NDN world, or what is truly needed in NDN country today. I think thats where alot of people get pageantry wrong, Cuz Miss NDN world isnt all about smiling and traveling and waving *aye*. Its about dedication, gettin your bum outta bed @ 5 in the mornin and doin whats on Agenda with a good attitude and a smile! Its about hard work and showin America that NDN's are still here and KICKIN A$$! WHoo Hoo! Yea ya gotta be 18, but keep in mind that Cepa went to Law school, Ke Aloha went to BYU of Hawaii and Tia is Iroquois and that just means she's the bomb! Aye! The girls are tough comp, If yaour ex old niece *aye* wants to just to see what its like, I'd say go for it, But if ya want to win, You bess have at least 2 years of college under your belt and SOME kind volunteer work with Native Americans. Jus my thinkin...

YEA,cepa is my sister, and that getting out of bed at 5 am is no joke!!! Most of the time when she had to catch a flight, the committee booked a very early flight like at 5am.. but she enjoyed everything about the title... and i think that you can be 17 to run, and it goes until 25 i think. Cepa was 24 when she won the title. it is alot of hard work and dedication to carry that title because so many people want the MIW to be at their conference or powwow or convention or awards show. we were travelling around all year round to everywhere, but it was such an experience. When the girl wins, not only is she MIW, but whole family, because so much has to happen for the girl to have a successful year. okay.. thats my 2 cents!! good luck to all the girls running!!!

I have a question. I'm not planning on running or anything. Do you have held a previous princess title to run?

it is not necessary that the girl held a title in the past, but she must give up any titles that she is currently holding and i'm not sure if they still do this, but when cepa won, she had to sign a contract that she would not run for any other title within the year after she gave up the crown. but seriously, once you've had the WORLD... what other title could you want?!?!?:p :p :p

Really, you can just retire the wave after being Miss Indian World. Is there a Miss Indian Universe?

I know that some girl from up here ran for that quite a while ago. She took third I think, and I am not sure where to look for those results, since I can't seem to remember the year

Other titles
I think there is a Miss Indian USA or that may not be the exact name of it and then there's Miss Indian Nations held at Tribes powwow each year my cuz ran for that a few years ago.

One of my friends up in ShoBan country told me that you have to either be a queen (possible princess) to enter MIW. But that she heard this year there wasn't many queens entering, and that they pretty much had it open to anyone. Hmm. I would have loved to run, like you Superndngirl, but with a baby! *hehe* How about a Mrs. Indian World??
