Pow Wow- HONOR THE SPIRIT
Ninth Annual
Gathering of Native Americans
Powwow & Celebration
September 10-11, 2005
What is a Pow Wow:
Originally the Pow Wow was held in the spring to celebrate the new beginning of life. It was a time for people to get together, sing, dance, renew old friendships and make new ones. The Pow Wow had a religious significance and were an opportunity for families to hold naming and honoring ceremonies.
Today Pow Wows, or celebrations, are very much a part of the lives of many American Indians. Pow Wows are a mixture of celebration, social gatherings and friendly dance competitions, shared by the " Generations" of people. But, as the sacred thread that runs through all life, there are sacred traditions to be found in this coming together of people.
There is a circle in most dances, representing the circle of unity, the circle of life. Dancers often follow the clockwise pattern of the sun." Drum & Song" are the heartbeat and the inspiration of Pow Wows. Some of the dress and ornaments, called regalia, signify special events or honors in a person's life, special religious traditions or perhaps legends.
The Pow Wow brings the circle of people closer to their family, friends and their american culture.
Everyone is welcome at a Pow Wow regardless of the tribe.

i'm going to dance in the circle tomorrow, for my uncle, for my grandparents, for my father, for my mother, for my sisters, for my friends, for someone else, and most of all for myself.

I cant wait.

Me: and you can walk around in your bare feet, you meet so many interesting ppl, you can buy craftwork, get native images painted on your face, dance in the circle (after getting smudged of course), and listen and dance to native american music for hours
****** for those of you (besides jenn) who I know cant go tomorrow and wanted to go, I apologize, but I did post the schedule for this pow wow on my LJ and xanga over a month or so ago, and several times infact. So yeah. And its not like I didn’t talk about it here and there, but im not saying its your fault or whatever but im just clarifying that if you didn’t know about it, its not my fault you cant go bc you claim you didn’t know about it. but whatever. Next yr will come soon enough. They do this pow wow all over the world, so if you don’t live in NH then you will get another chance.
