Just asking
Is gourd dancing a age old tradition in the southeast? -
I was just asking because I know there are plenty of natives at nearby Fort Bragg that have expressed a wish to dance at out local powwows but they need a drum to sing the songs. None in the area know any as far as I know and I was just asking whom could I ask that has good knowledge that maybe able to teach me if they choose to do so, so that the Bragg guys can come and dance. They know the dancin but aren't knowledgable enough to teach songs. Thank You for any help.I am the rocks of the Eternal shores crash against me and be Broken!Comment
