Hi everyone!!!!!! I've been going to pow wows and researching my heritage for years, and finally I'm going to dance!!! :) I'm so exicited. The style of dress I'm going to have is a the panel style of the cloth dress. (i'm Lumbee and Cherokee by blood but I mostly am affiliated with Coharie) the top will be blue, and the panels purple with turtles to represent long life and patience and blue triangles to represent the trials of life that the turtles are swimming through.
Now that I have went over that here are my questions:
When you dance how do you know what beats are the honor beats and when to stop? I've done intertribal dancing but I'm still not going to be sure of myself when I'm in the arena.
Where did you get your feathers?
How do you take care of your regalia? Do you use sage/sweet grass?
Do you just go out there and dance i knkow that you step with the beat, but do you know most of the songs?
thanks Turtle
