The guidelines for the tipi competition are posted on the web site for Nationals. Also, I will be giving a seminar on the Old style tipis at this event. Should be fun and lots of people going.

Where are they going to fit tipis in the MCI Center? Will they be at a different location?

Can you explain as I have not been to this site since 1974. What is the MCI center and what are any problems you see for tipis. I have been trying to get information from the committee and no one give me an answer.

The MCI Center is where the National Pow Wow is being held in DC. It's an inside venue...so where would they have room for lodges? That's why I asked if there was an alternate place they were having the tipi contest.

You 2 are talking about 2 different events.

The National Pow Wow - NPW 13 is in Danville, IL. The NMAI National Pow Wow is in Washington, DC.

Ohhhh....

Well, don't know about Illinois, but DC is going to be off the freakin' hook! That's where I'm planning to cruise to.

Is "National Powwow" copyrighted? It is only the 2nd in DC but the 13th in Illinois.

But then again, Gathering of Nations is in New MExico and in New York.

BUT... that would be pretty kick azz to see a buncha teepee's in DC!

[Wojapi4Me]

That would be cool! Line them up on the mall.

I don't think National Pow Wow is copyrighted, but I would think that the NMAI would have first dibs if it ever was. I checked the other site, and DC looks like the one to hit out of the two.

they could put them on the mall... theres enough room...

As for copyright, since this dance has been going on since the early 60s' every 3 years...they have the right to the name by use.
In a court it would be given to them because of this 45 year continuall useage. But anyone can use the name...just need to get the place where it is held straightened out when talking about the two dances. Boy, was I confused with the other message on this.

Would love to have a tipi village on the the Mall land...what a site that would be. A hundred decked out tipis or more. But would they allow you to drive on the grass and then where do you put your vehicles, do they allow staying in your lodge and a fire. Maybe we could combine the two dances???

But the Dance in Washington is exactly that...a dance.
The National Powwow dance, which moves sites every three years, is not a dance Competition. The only competition is for Tipis and crafts. And it is open to anyone...no card showing, no tribal this and that...anyone can camp and have a good time dancing or showing off what they have made or bragging rights on who has got a great tipi.

About 400 or more dancers enter the area for some good fellowship like any open dance can be.
