  • Pow Wow Newcomer

    Does anyone care to help out this young lady with all information on how to get off to a start in joing the pow wow circuit, instead of being a spectator. Interest in women buckskin!

    The Best Advice

    The best advice I can give is to talk to the people you know. When you are at a powwow, or people you know outside of the circuit...have conversations. Find out how people began their dancing, how they began their outfits...did they sew their own, or have them made? Who did they learn from. Ask these questions politely, and you will learn so much...plus, you may find resources, such as a friend who knows someone who can do this and such. That is really the best thing to do. When I began to dance, the only friends I knew who danced were men, but every day and every powwow is an oppurtunity to meet more of your brothers and sisters.

      Dine' bashing

      This post is in reference to comments made in the "what is with navajo's and southern style dancing" thread.

      At the Gathering back maybe 9 years ago, Blacklodge and Cozad were both present. During one of the intertribal dances, Blacklodge sang a well-known Cozad song. They...

      by slysouthernguy
      You are stumbling back to the Super 8 Motel after a long night of 49'n. You trip and fall of an empty bottle of Boone's Farm. When you pick up the stray bottle to throw it at the nearest car for no good reason at all, you STOP!
      You realize that there is something different about this bottle,...

      Late Ending PowWows Kill!!
      by tootoosis1972
      Relatives & Friends,

      First of all, my sympathies and support to Darryl Jack and family. Know that your loss is felt across Pow Wow country and will not be taken lightly. As is the case in the following.

      Sure, the title of this thread is strong, controversial even,...

      What is your definition of 'Elder'?
      by Plenty Fox
      Is it age, or is it wisdom? In my search for an 'Elder' to guide me (at the time I had no 'family' to lookup to); I came across several 'candidates' both male and female. I watched quietly and from each I learned a great deal; although in the end only the one truly qualifed as an Elder in my eyes. I...

      Attending pow wow dancing classes
      by Montanaa
      So I finally convinced my mom to let me learn the culture. She is even going to take some regalia-making classes with me too but I'm going into pow wow dancing classes alone.

      My question here... how do I calm my nerves and what should I expect? I do struggle with identity issues as I'm...
