bring up the past.........lmao

Then discuss the present and answer my initial question ...

[OneidaGirl928]

OG928, CloudN9ne doesn't have an issue with Josh, i don't think, he just has an issue with everyone and everything. He's a major hater with the pw world. He *****es and complains when or his woman don't place at pws. Sore losers. He thinks he's the most edgamakated person to talk about pw protocol, dances, etc. He really needs to get a life.

Thank you WC for the clarification. It just amazes me that the more I get out of my family's circle and the pow wow's we usually go to that I come across so many Native people hating on other Native people. It just doesn't make sense to me but then again I'm not an insecure person; I'm quite comfortable in my own skin.

[Who Cares?]

And why is that?

Clearly you have an issue with Josh or you would never had said anything. Why do you feel the need to air your dirty laundry here? Why can't you just be the bigger person and congratulate him on his win and be done? Or if you don't have anything nice to say why say anything at all?

*I will never understand haterz or why there has to be drama within the pow wow circuit*

Who has the complete list of winners? We were only there for the day on Saturday but had a great time as usual. The mocassin blow-out was really good and the honoring for Johnny was awesome. To see his son out there dancing had to touch everyone's heart.

Thanks to all of you that came to the 43rd Annual Haliwa-Saponi Powwow. The powwow was a huge success and the weather held off until the very end; just in time. Thanks to all of the dancers that came to support the event, especially the fancy dancers that participated in the Johnny Hedgepeth Memorial Moccasin Blowout dance contest. It was awesome to see those guys out there kickin' it. The first place winner in women's fancy was Katy Isinock (sp?).

Congratulations to Red Earth on their first big drum contest win. I am so proud, I feel like I and the rest of Stoney Creek are their big brothers. Thanks to the the other drums that came out, Kau Ta Noh, Jrs. Hope you guys had a good time in Hollister, after years of not coming up. Also thanks to Southern Eagle, you guys sounded great, Red Oak, thanks for setting up, and Southern Sun for serving as Southern Host this year.

Look for bigger and better things next year, we'll start planning for next year in a few weeks.

Men's Traditional Winners:

1. Charlie Belisle
2. Will Hedgepeth
3. Wayahsti Richardson

Men's Fancy Winners:

1. Eric Bird
