stereotypical overkills
For many years I have noticed certain designs, actions and what nots, that appear in the powwow world...they become a fashion, then almost craze status and routine for a while and then finally cliche'.
for example...in the powwow arena....dropping money in front of you favorite dancer. (it was good until it became a way to influence the judges).
Traditional dancers whistling up drums immediately after thier contest and acting as if they are on some unkown holy mission to bless every one and everything...(when only moments before, they were in heated competition against some of thier worst "powwow enemies")
That "end of the trail" design.....{hungover person on a lazy horse}...yeah at first it may have been kinda cool...But!
Just ranting! any more stereotypes that fit the mold?
Oh yeah....every one and thier mom-in-law running water out to a dancer....what happened to stamina?

Recently, my family and I attended a powwow here in Rapid City, and just about went BROKE! Even the admission alone put us back over $100.00 for the weekend. Even my four year old, who slept most of the evening sessions, had to pay $9.75 for the weekend.
The concession stand in the...10-24-2006, 12:08 PM -
A LOT of people record audio and/or video at powwows; perhaps mostly for personal use, but we really don't know in all cases where each video is going or if it may appear for sale somewhere. There are some recorders are very obviously commercial; they bought huge $2500 high resolution video cameras...06-19-2006, 04:21 PM

Aho!
So, I have just moved to Indiana from Texas for college. Unfortunately that means my powwow is back home, and as it happens during the school year, I can’t go. I was hoping someone had recommendations for Powwows near East Indiana that I could go to. Unfortunately I’m apparently the only...Yesterday, 11:22 AM
