In ceremonial events, I have observed the Crow and Kiowa people having multiple giveaways at the same time.
Do you think this should be adopted to expedite powwows by having several giveaways together instead of individually? Or should we observe tradition and give people/families/committees/headstaff...01-18-2010, 03:18 PM
