This past weekend at the AIS Hethuska I was seated near the Ponca Nuda Honga. The smoke song was sung during the first water break and some people stood, some people sat and some other folks just looked around trying to figure out what to do. I asked Damon whaat the 'rule' was. He said "some people stand, some people think you should dance it, and some sit". I guess that clears that up.Comment
