Gourd dancing is a ceremonial dance.
Gourd dancing IS NOT a dance exclusively for veterans.
Women should never handle a gourd during the gourd dance.Powwows will continue to evolve in many directions. It is inevitable.Comment

Today I see two different types of gourd dancing which isn't suppose to be...
The Kiowa gourd clan-yes ceremonial..
Then we have the pow-wow gourd dance nothing like the Kiowa Gourd clan is doing.
I feel these types of people mainly super hobs and wannabe's adopt the groud dance for themselves and is making a mockery of the real Kiowa Gourd clan.......
So if your asking for your own personal information that is okay....
from what I understand they don't expect you to go and run a gourd dance at a pow-wow without a Kiowa Gourd Clan member being present.....my opinion and I'm sticking to it lol and if I'm wrong I'm sure somebody will let me know (smiles)Last edited by kiowakat; 04-14-2006, 11:26 AM.Comment
