. . .He also professed to be able to control the weather.

Uh oh Quick Silver!

You better bring an umbrella too. Looks like well be doing some weather shiftin' - as well as shape and face shiftin' during our "medicine man contest!"


I got my silver bullet ready in my shirt pocket just incase he turns into a werewolf.

If you were a part of putting that event together and I offended you... Good!

I was not part of putting the event together, so you did not offend me. I just merely went there to dance on Mother Earth, and that is what I did!

With your post count you should be sounding like an authentic native instead of a Mother Earth prancing Indian.

Whatever. To each his own. I don't understand this pettiness and am not going to participate.

I didn't mean to be petty but you must consider how others think when one says "Dancing on Mother Earth." It's all good when it is worded into a prayer of some sort but golly gee willikers, what is wrong with you, lol.

I am sorry quicksilverwade, but I have not had a good week and am probably taking things the wrong way. I apologize. You are right. I should have thought how it sounds to others. I will think before I speak.

No, it is I who should apologize. I didn't realize that your mother had passed away. Brown Eyed Gurl chastised me for being thoughtless especially since I just look to instigate and cause trouble.

No problem. I am just being over sensitive. thanks BEG for watching my back!

An old style woodland dancer is a person who wears regalia that has been copied from early 1800s era. In my case, I used to wear 1860s era Apache. But I have since put together regalia based on early 1800s Cherokee design. Center seam leggins and mocs, bandolier bag, long broadcloth shirt, cross sashes, a turban style head cover with a hawk feather roach, etc.

I am Apache. I went to the Metis powwow. There were 2 drums, not 3. Thunder Canyon is based out of Ohio and IS Native American. The circles of people dancing you saw, were groups of people dancing what ever they wanted , too. This was doe to try to get everyone at the powwow, participants and spectators involved. The birds were brought in by the Staff at Eagle Creek Park. The Red taile d Hawk was nice, but I don,t think a turkey vulcher should have been there. It was a nice powwow until I got a phone call that my mother had passed. I guess to each his own.

you a real Apache?

Then why did'nt you just say you dress cherokee? There is no such thing as a woodland dance style unless you are being specific such as stomp dancing, smoke dancing, social dancing. You make it sound as if it's a particular style at any powwow.


Wade, who is that pic of? Horace Goodhue?????

Woodland Cherokees and Apaches???????.....

Sorry...this just turned out to what I feared it would be....

Not to be mean buddy....but you still got a long way to go.


I'll just leave it at that. Like I said...I'm not being mean...I'm just being real and I hope you can get that from me.
