ok... gotta jump in here.
One thing you all are forgetting here is that where he dances whites are more a part of the dances. I'm not saying it is right. What I am saying is you have some "Uncle Tom~a~Hawks" that know which side their frybread is sugared on. So yeah.. those dances the white dancers are not only excepted but encouraged to dance. And also to lay down on the blanket dances.. volunteer..and "you want nice outfit.. my wife/aunt/sister/cousin can fix ya up but it will cost ya... OH.. money is no object... Cool!" You wanna start a powwow.. great! I know a drum but it will cost ya to get em here.. Oh and you'll need mc's.. arena director.. yada yada yada.. you know drill.
What he is talking about is NOT traditional powwows, but inter-tribals.
No I do not know this guy... I don't know the exact powwows he goes too. I know the area some, what I know is the same old story... greed vs _________ you fill in the blank. Don't make a damn bit of difference what I put there... just my opinion.
Oh... and if everyone agrees... how bout I split this into two threads. Keep the one on women dancers in regalia... and move this to native issues as the white dancers war.... Part 1001
