I like rez powwows that are close to an urban area.

Snow Mountain powwow outside of Las Vegas and Oneida powwow outside of Green Bay, Wisc. are prime examples.

There is all the openness of the rez with all the comforts of the city.

I prefer Rez powwows. City powwows might be convenient, but only if you live in the city and there is lots of parking, but then again they like to charge admission, you get more new-agey types as guests, lots more "non-powwow" type sideshows, etc.

I like the down-home rez-style powwows for sure.

Doesnt matter to me, Ive hit up some good PW's All over the place. Besides I figure FUN is what u bring with you :p

isnt it hard to dance on concrete? well i guess little holes in the ground can be hazardous also.... i like camping pow-wows cuz i cant afford hotels unless its in winnipeg.... and seeing stars is nice...

LOL MOTS my hubby said the same... thats not a real pow wow when ya got a flat surface like concrete,,, our ancestors didnt dance on cement.. they danced with the ground holes and everything.. LOL..

[Fancy Maiden]

this is what i think....... what does it matter where you have a powwow just as long as your having fun???

GoOd PoInT.

Yeah that's tru. Theres alot of fun Pw's out there(Rez or city). The thing about the city pw's they sometimes might bring more players to the table but there's to much politics involed and sometimes u cant have a good time like u would in other places. Im not tryin to single out them city pw's cause those rez one's can be a little strict at times but a pw is a pw and tru when u go to one FUN is wat u bring with u.

Me being as I am Me. I believe I'd like both. Comparing one to the other seems counterproductive. I would think there are several benefits to each, as posted above. In my life I've only been on the brink of 1 Pow wow. but it never materilized, for me.I still look forward to the time when I can achieve a powwow as a visitor, traveler, and studyier of same. I like to study things out. Fault finding if you please. It is a habit and need I have cultivated, all throughout, my adult life. It won't go away for me. There seems always in this life something to find fault with. So as I plod my path these faults always seem to jump out at me. I do like these arrangements. "Seek, and you shall find" from the Good Book, but I have been called down about this phrase before.!! So I still plod this path, and find the faults as it appears, to be measured, by my measure. What better thing can one as myself do?? GES

[snowbird]

um .....ok...N E Wayz i think its wierd 2 study a powwow but yea, rez pw's are way better cuz people are not trippin an if they are its a quick lil scrap if u can catch it b4 security does! lol

personally i like our OK powwows. a lot like the rez dances,i guess, and the crowd of the urban areas. by the way the bia police still come out. many of our city dances are OK style in our area. whether on a tribal owned grounds or in a park of some kind.
