Controversy At GON???!!!???

[injunboy]

GON seems to be unfair in the "policy" of not allowing recording of others drums. every pow wow i have been to - whether big or small - there were always people who recorded.

could some of this be part of the M.C's. dennis is gettin bad about voicing his recorder jokes. sammy tonkei is joining in too. ASU was pretty good about it (recorders)and now with these two M.C's gettin anywhere near the announcer booth(at ASU) is like a crime.

Thanks! I try my best with my reverse Spanish. By the way, I'll be in Lompoc, CA to visit my sister and on our way back we'll probably swing by the UCLA powwow on Sunday.

I said.....

Well if this website is so WHITEas you claim it to be what the heck are you doing wasting your precious time typing a response to this thread? Is the question I want to know. I think this website is awesome and nobody is making me pay any money to join. I dont see very many other websites of this calibur putting American Indian people as the main subject matter. See, this is exactly why Indian people will not progress. We are too busy fighting each other and showing our fangs. Lets get together and be ONE Indian nation under God!

I said he looks white to me, I think other people would think so too! And the reason he puts you first is he has got to treat his bread and butter good he dont put my native calibur first like giving back to the people who join this sight...do you get anything out of it...hell no.....believe me other sights will be starting up with full native perspectives...backed by first nations.... to get special privlages on this sight you must pay too!!!!so every sight costs... a awesome sight would be giving back to its people like pow-wownnation.ca a chance to win a trip if you join at least....now dont copy that mr. Webmaster.

[blacktipsfeathers]

I guess I was right....

Listen, if you are going post crap about me, get your damn facts right!!

I go to Disney World, not Disney Land!



See my pictures from our trips to Disney World:

The only thing you quote is about disney world......I told all you skins he's as native as John Smith on Pocahontas, he dont have native blood another wanna be, with deep pockets and what I post is not crap I guess......

Leave it alone, go back to your money collecting website. I would guess the webmaster don't want to respond because it is senseless. If you don't like it why bother coming, just the same way with going to the GON. Sounds like you are getting mad because he won't respond, and that's probably what he wants you to do and feel. You're miserable, so what? You don't need to make everybody else miserable.

[blacktipsfeathers]

oh yeah.....

NO kidding! Blacktipifeathers what's up? chill out............the only thing Paul G ever did was bring us all together in unity. Some of us on Powwows.com know each other and we all know who speaks their mind freely. Yeah we express our views, but we never talk trash like a respectful native would do.

I'll be honest, I'll give you a bad rep for disrespecting others.....and I hope you find another native website to ***** in, cuz you sure aren't a welcoming wagon!!

Again you tree huggers....hows that wont hurt your feelings....tell me is it respectful to claim something you are not and then benefit from it later...na he has fooled you. He says how beautiful and wonderful you are and we at pow-wows.com love you, and all that stuff...thats how we lost our land, and some of our languages, and abuse from other religions, pat them on the back they will fight for you..... just like the Apache scouts, told how great they where you get free gun and blue jacket, in the end they where locked up with the other natives they hunted...... Bring us in unity should be visiting your neighbour, or going to a pow-wow far away not fighting for a white guys thank you....come on!!!

[Joe G]

So let's see:
A guy runs a website for free here...which anybody can use...
He even offers to help you link to other sites, to help with the one you support
For this...you look at his profile....and then:
question his integrity...add insults...
He then 'pulls your leg' with the Disney bit...
Then you add more insults about racial purity/John Smith/Pocahontas/etc...and call him a wannabe...and 'with deep pockets' rippin off skins...
What the **** is your problem?? are NDNS only those who look NDN to you? Or those who agree with you? What are you trying to prove with this??? Most people use many different sites to get data..or whatever they seek...
Ho wis he gettin rich here? by charging nothing????

[White Powwow Dancer]

Hey Please cool your jets no fighting!!

[blacktipsfeathers]

must be hired....

Ok - first Tall Injun began this thread because of a controversy that didn't really happen, but then the thread like got turned all the way around....and then somehow on page whatever - I read where a gentleman states that he is Native and is able to speak his mind....and then he attacks the man who built the website...ok = what did I miss?

Paul - you have seen this before when this happens - - to Blacktipfeathers - sorry dude you ain't the firs to all of a sudden attack the webmaster - all of us have seen and a few have had cyber stalkers, haters or whatever....just comes when you do positive change. And to me - this board is making a difference....and that's life.

I know that on this board, there may be things that you don't like - things you don't agree with, but at least you have a place where you can come and discuss that crap - with other folks that can actually relate....and that **** rocks all day....no matter who you are.

I personally take offense to you looping Paul Gowder in with others that may not have good efforts at heart...thru this board, I have been able to meet some of the best people in my life - majority Native - and I have been here for 5 years - and have yet to be charged or paid anything - but the things this board have brought me are priceless. Personally - I don't give a flip what Paul's nationality is, even tho he states his tribal affiliation right there on his bio (how many of you don't even do that??) I am being honest - cuz he has brought so many folks together that NEVER, EVER WOULDA MET!!!!

So anyway - all that said - this thread is , but what the hell was it about anyways.....o h yeah - CONTROVERSY.....GO FIGURE....

Now let's dance... - and hey I am soooo jealous that you met Mickey and got pics!!!....Actually my daughter met him and Goofy when I took her - she was like 6 - but I was the one gushing - like GAW....so close to them that I didn't even snap a photo - among greatness......

Have a good night...

Another dude who spends his time at disney world than at a pow-wow....In the first place I did not attack him, I simply said he must be white....then I see his picture and presto he is.....then everyone cries racism, what about him claiming native! you people should sit down and listen to some stories granpa has about being picked on....I could give a rats *** about the web-master this site is about natives aint it!!! not about picking on the guy making money on this site, its problably Mr.Paul G with the arena director handle here making himself look picked on....thats how people get to other people.
