Duck & Dive

[pow wow guest]

I would just like an opinion on this, I am in no way involved with it just seeking some input. Up here in Vancouver there is going to be a New Years Pow Wow, our local Pow Wow web site was going to offer prize money for the winner of the ladies fancy shawl dance including the duck and dive. Now because of some complaints that the duck and dive is used by certain tribes they are going to have to drop the duck and dive. Would this be a correct statement and why would certain tribes complain?
Just a white guy being curious.

The ladies fancy shawl is still happening without the duck and dive,
that other thread sure explained what I was asking but with a whole lot of contraversy and a little mud slinging. Pow Wow B.C. was probably sponsoring the dance at the wishes of some of the females who wanted that part of the dance included, so I don't think it was right to dump on the sponsor, it is real gracious of them to put in the prize money for the dance, way to go Glenn.
