I just wanted to get a feel for how many would attend one since all I see are contest powwows nowadays.

oOoSouthernStyozoOo · 02-28-2005, 10:32 AM

I use to go when i was a princess. It was fun...i think i went to a couple then

**Kiwehnzii** · 02-28-2005, 10:52 AM

I do. Not all the time, but I go once in a while.

KeetersCAT · 02-28-2005, 11:05 AM

Yes! It's a nice change of pace. The big plus is there's no crybabies at tradish pow-wows!

ojibwaywmn · 02-28-2005, 11:16 AM

I would go if they had more of them in my area.

**MayChe** · 02-28-2005, 02:44 PM

I do. People aren't so uptight as they are at a competition powwow. They don't feel as threatened.

Usdigvhi · 02-28-2005, 06:19 PM

The only powwow ive been to was a contest powow but id love to attend one that wasnt

**Furiously-Fancy** · 02-28-2005, 06:25 PM

**kneegrow_native** · 02-28-2005, 07:31 PM

I like non contest pow-wows, especially during the off season, they are fun to just go and chill at.

**middle of the sky** · 03-01-2005, 02:31 AM

NCheyGirl21 · 03-03-2005, 09:33 PM

I go to mostly non contest pow wows now days but thats cuz I was injured a few years back and never started back up going to contest pow wows but i'm gonna try it this year..I really enjoy the non contest ones tho..I have alotta fun.

charliemom · 03-10-2005, 08:55 PM

My family goes to powwows. If it is noncontes or contest. The Whorley powwow from last weekend the small ones around here and a few from afar. They are all great, better if there is a feed. I just love a good feed, visiting and the jokes. oh and the Potatoe dance ;)

old bull · 03-11-2005, 06:28 PM

I Love The Noncontest Pow Wow But As A Drummer You Compete To Get Host Jobs Nobody Wants A Drum Thats Never Been Heard Of But We Drum Them For Our Own Pleasure And The Dancers Who Can't Or Wont Go To The Big Ones.

Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide. Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none. When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision. When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home." -Tecumseh
