Originally posted by DeafElderWoman View PostAs long as it is announced to let traditional social dancing unless some Whites were not dancing two steps very well. No one is perfect any way. The most famous to dance for Whites is the friendship (round) dance and also to let some Natives to hand some of their regalia to the Whites to pretend to dance the traditional dances. They were all in fun time.

whites having a good time in intertribal is fine, so are blacks, asians, mexicans.......even aztlanistas haha
BUT hobbyism is disrespectful.......from boy scout kids to adult boy scout types like a certain crybaby on these very pages"I on the trail of a possible good Indian lady and she is reported to like the old way's and she to believes in big family and being at home with kids all the time"... - MOTOOPI aka WOUNDED BEAR

Well, that's what you sound like.Attached FilesI believe blood quantums are the governments way to breed us out of existance !
They say blood is thicker than water ! Now maple syrup is thicker than blood , so are pancakes more important than family ?
There are "Elders" and there are "Olders". Being the second one doesn't make the first one true !
Somebody is out there somewhere, thinking of you and the impact you made in their life.
It's not me....I think you're an idiot !

There's a chance you might not like me ,
but there's a bigger
chance I won't care

by Mukluk_guy1I hope there is someone out there than can help me. I am a white guy who just happens to love watching the Fancy Dancers at local Pow Wow's. I have dreamed of doing this myself, but don't wish to disrespect the native culture by doing it unless it's not a problem. If it is possible, and there is someone...
