Just a smidge more than "I'm native in my heart"

but thats just my wee opinion....

oh and Great Gramma's who were Princesses dont count anymore...to far removed......

Can someone explain why Wasicu's feel they have the right to "remove" people in their families ie. My 2nd Cousin Twice removed...how many times do you have to remove a person til they stay gone...geesh...

The SOB's are very persistent! Especially if you owe them money, if it's the other way around, just call them 'seldom seen'

Ok, thanks everyone !!!!!

LMFAO, I've asked probably more people that question than any other question and have yet to get a solid, understandable, answer to it. I guess the answer to the second part of your question would have to be 7 given the expression "Seven degrees of seperation".

I have no real idea.

Dakota Mato · 03-29-2009, 06:17 PM

Rrr how do you quote someone?

Just any I quess. Does it depend on a person's location or tribe?

**Joe G** · 03-29-2009, 06:44 PM

Click on the box that says 'quote' at the bottom of the person's post.

Dakota Mato · 03-29-2009, 07:04 PM

Oh ok, haha I feel really, really dumb now. Thanks for telling me.

crazywolf · 03-30-2009, 02:03 PM

It is a fear quantum. If you are too afraid to go out there and dance with us then you do not have enough NDN in you to come and dance in the first place.

Honestly, I have always heard the MC invite people to come in and dance at one time or another. Anyone can come in on the intertribals, so long as they are not afraid.

Hehehehe how true!

Dakota Mato · 03-30-2009, 10:55 PM

Crazywolf,
I'm not afraid to dance. I got plenty of Native Pride. It's just I don't really know anyone who I can talk to about powwows! I haven't been able to go to any. That's why I asked. And I didn't know anything about or heard about intertribals until I started seeing it on this website. Plus I still don't know a whole lot about them.

In the matchless wisdom of Yogi (Lawrence Peter) Berra:
"You can observe a lot by just watching."

So attend, and follow his advice.

fncyshwldncr4life · 04-01-2009, 07:08 PM

Everybody is welcome to come out and dance during Intertribals, as long as they are respectful about it. Don't be hopping around barefoot please..LOL If yer a female, I'd recommend wearing a shawl as well. It's best to watch and learn first, before just rushing out there. Occasionally, at some powwows, the MC will call for people who are new to powwows to come in and dance. This gives newcomers a chance to come out and dance without the fear of offending someone as well.
