ChoctawNation Coliseum Durant Winners etc

[NanGrand]

Does anyone have information for this pow wow, winners etc

[sltate]

This was a good pow wow, the committee was excellent. It was indoor in an arena similar to the one at Kinder, La. Seating and space were convenient. Parking was kind of tight, but the atmosphere was nice and the vendors were great. (my husband bought me a crystal bracelet watch that was awesome for 20 bucks, cheap date I know.LOL)
I had a nice time and I will try to name the winners, but there were 7 places and I did not get all of them. haha

Good gourd dancing, they were on time and lots of intertribals and contesting. Very good pow wow, in my opinion. The committee said they would try to have it every year from now on, on the same dates, etc.

i got there and first grand entry already started so we just packed up and headed to another pw...but i was there for the first session but didn't get a chance to say hi to any of my buddies...but to me some of the judges were kinda off...i don't think that some of judges should have judged...but hey that is what i was thinking...and that the head judge was taking care of his own...but for the first annuel alot of really good dancers hopefully better judging next year and i will come back down!!

Choctaw Nation Powwow

I have to agree, I think the head judge was taking care of his own, maybe his family should have not contested, or maybe he should have had someone else pick the judges for his familys catorgies, anyway I have seen this family do the same thing in Livingston, Texas, they only make theirselfs look bad, loose respect, come on we all travel the circuit and know who is related. dont mean to make anyone upset, just wanting to comment.

Are there any pictures? I would love to see the Choctaw dresses. Do the women carry shawls and fans? My Grandmother was part Choctaw and I'd like to follow her traditions, but it seems at most powwows, plains style is what most women are wearing.
