I am a powwow dancer and YES everyone is welcomed. Usually go Friday-Sunday. There are contest dances, social dances, gourd dance, specialty dances, intertribals, etc.. On intertribals, it is welcome for everyone to participate. Just be respectful, do not call our regalia a Costume or Decorations as every piece has a specific place and purpose. A lot is passed down the family and do not touch a dancer without asking permission. The arena announcer will tell you when you cannot film and what ia going on. Everyone is welcome, come and enjoy everything from the dancing to the food and different tribal customes, artists, etc.. The numbers are for contest and to be judged. The dance styles have a history and purpose. I even get my non-native friends out to dance/walk with me during intertribals.
thank you for keeping the traditions of our first nations ppls alive
Yes it’s open to everyone.
Wanting to learn our culture would mean learning 100s of different cultures from different tribe because we have our own beliefs and traditions. Powwows is like a social gathering for all people.
i wish it was in the netherlands, i really wanna go to one but america to way to far away.
Pow wows are open to any one. That has been my experience throughout Saskatchewan and Alberta. They have several categories including men's fancy, Chicken dance, women's jingle, and all ages
I especially love to see the children in their regalia, so darn cute. Some are such good dancers and are so tiny.
Yes I totally agree, everyone is welcome
I want to chicken dance but I went to saddle lake powwow
As a navajo, yes we allow everyone to join and enjoy 😊
Coming from New Mexico and the Navajo tribe we welcome anyone who wants to understand our culture
A’HO ❤
Ya’at’eeh cuzin
As a Navajo, we dont actually have pow wows. It is not our culture. But, we do go in these modern times because of friends, family, and food. All is really is, is an Inter-tribal dance contest. Everyone is welcome for the price of admission...lol.
Well said Ericsam1761. I'm Navajo, I agree with ya.
I have been to a few powwows, they are very different in person. It’s like trying to tell someone what a concert is like who’s never been to one you just can’t really capture it. I cried the first time I heard the drums. ITS AMAZING, IF YOU EVER GET THE CHANCE TO GO DO IT!! YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT!!!!
im native and thank you for the nice things you said
Thank you both for wanting to learn the culture of the First Nations people of the USA. Im an Aboriginal Elder of the Gunditjmara Nation in Victoria, Australia. We also have cultural events in which we invite others to come, share, learn and enjoy. All cultures are unique and worthy of respect.
Except the Indians actually have a culture, creativity, skills and history, and are self funded and proud!
In Ontario, Ca here! There are 2 types of powwow- traditional & competition.
Comp will have numbers.
Theres different dance categories.
Fancy, traditional, jingle, woodland to name the main ones.
Also, anyone can attend powwows, we love being able to teach people who want to learn. ❤❤
African American here. I feel such a deep and grounding connection to Indigenous Native music. My dad is from. South Carolina and he always said we had Black Foot in our lineage…. But he likes to make stuff up sometimes.
But lest we not forget, native peoples helped the slaves and integrated them into their tribes when our ancestors escaped.
Much love ❤️✊🏽 standing with y’all 🪶
If it wasn't for the native people, we wouldn't have the blues or rock n roll! Listen to the drumbeat and you will hear our drum! It was the blues men in the early 1900s who acknowledged our contributions to the music people hear today!
Get a DNA test you may be pleased to find out he wasn't telling stories! The natives were often better to live with back in the old days the reservations were almost inaccessible. And a lot still are to most people.
If I'm not mistaken black foot are from Canada
I think it was in 1991 I attended a huge pow wow in Southern California. May have been at the orange county fair grounds. I had never been and wanted to experience it. Took my 4yr old son. It was beautiful. Natives from all over the country were there. Tasted food I'd never heard of before like a 'Willy Boy' delicious and fry bread! Bought a beautiful tshirt that I wore of warriors past till it had so many holes and runs that I had to finally reluctantly throw it away😢. I loved watching the dances. Standing when others stood and loved the drums sounding so perfectly in unison. The beautiful regalia that the men women and children wore was stunning takes your breath away to see them dance. But the most spectacular scene was when an elderly women enteted the grounds to dance, her very long braided hair whirling around and she twirled holding a bright colored shawl as she danced so freely and the people respectfully laid money down for her. Its an experience I will never foget. I hope others like me who are not native can experience it too. ❤
We don’t dance to portray a “sprit” the drum acts as the heart beat to Mother Nature and he dance to the beat of our mother to give thanks for life
As Tohono O’odham, our powwows or many others anyone is welcome. The regalia that a dancer wears are either bought or handmade, but everything bead, feather (eagle feathers aren’t meant for any person to touch, especially ones on the ground), & cloth hold meaning & blessings. As for the drums, it’s a way for beats to represent one’s heart beat & inner spirit. Powwows are contest ceremonies held for any tribe with jingle dancers, chicken dances, all ages, fancy dancers (men & women) & so on.
Hello Tohono O'Odham relative, I am San Xavier decendant.
Hello T.O. family. I'm originally from Sells & live in Scottsdale now
I always tell everyone that when the MC says intertribal time that's when ur allowed to go do ur dances but stay on beat.. Love and respect
I’m Native American/indigenous and all people are welcome to powwows, to learn!!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
we love more than anything to see others enjoying/respecting, and against popular belief, even taking part in our culture ❤
I love people coming into our culture! It’s for everyone to share NATIVE PRIDE BABY!!!!
I went for the first time about 6 years ago to the local powwow I had just found out about my heritage (grandma adopted out of her culture), and wanted to learn. There were plenty of on non Indigenous people there. I was by myself and didn't know what to expect. There' were certain protocols, according to the local nation, like when it is okay to take pictures, and not okay, or to stand when an elder is speaking, etc. Just being respectful. There's people who specifically help guide the pow wow. Lots of families and kids - it's awesome.
Yes anyone can come and dance with us and experience our culture. We love all people🧡🧡🧡
🦅🦬🪶❤️❤️❤️❤️
Pow wow are open to everyone. The pow wow itself is not traditional. It's a mix of a bunch of different tribal practices. Some of the elements of the pow wow are the result of "wild west shows" that basically put Native people on display for non-Native audiences in the late 1800s/early 1900s. At the same time, there are traditional things that happen at the pow wow. There are prayers, practices, ceremonies that take place throughout the event that not just for show. For a non-Native person, it can be difficult to know how they are supposed to be interacting with what is going on at the pow wow. Like we welcome spectators, but we aren't performers. There is a lot of reverence and ceremony happening, but the MC is also cracking jokes and we're having silly contests (switch dances, wannabe dances, etc.). There are deep rooted traditional practices, but then we are also contest dancing for prize money. We are telling people that their "Indian princess" ancestor isn't a thing because we don't have princesses, but then we have pow wow royalty and pageants. So it can be difficult to navigate what is going on if you are not familiar with Native cultures. Know that everyone is welcomed to come to attend pow wows, just be respectful and humble, and expect to see apparent contradictions...but know that they aren't contradictions to us. 😅
I absolutely love that you guys covered this, powwow are open to all and everyone is welcome. As a native American it brings joy to my heart that u guys show interest in my culture. Thank you, even videos like this show light to me and my native brothers and sister. We are still here. Much love ❤❤❤❤
They compete in different categories! Men's , Women 's
Traditional, grass dance , shawl dance , jingle dress ,
Men & Women fancy dance ! Hoop dance , kids categories
also ! The drummers also compete, drumming!
“When it comes to culture will always have a drum;” I friggin love that!
Yes, I am yt and I go all the time, as long as you are respectful. I love Pow Wow's, I learn so much. The drums are like a heart beat.
The dresses and the design are unique to the individual. Some people buy dress and some even make there own from scratch. Every piece of the clothing are made from piece from the land or clothing store lol, Many designs can be based on anything you like, you can be a crow, buffalo, road runner, bear, and so on. You can stand by the drums and feel the passion and the hearts that they being put thru songs. There are many different tribes but they all come together to dance and song, There are many ways to dance as well. Many tribe across America are losing there language to time. And there’s peyote sing where that stay up all thru out the night singing
And water drum where they can sing for and prayer or a small child birthday or a lose love one
The voice of the drum will lift you spirits and make you happy.
I'm full blood native...I love your inquiztive mind set. Keep asking question....and remember..WE ARE STILL HERE.
Thank you for showing this video the Indigenous peoples are awesome and are too often forgotten by non first nation people. Please learn and support these amazing peoples. From a non Indigenous person from Kentucky .
Growing up in Washington, the Native peoples always allowed for non natives to attend a Pow Wow. What better way to experience someone’s culture and appreciate it.
I am Menominee and Stockbridge-Munsee. I believe the Gathering of the Nations is a celebration of all tribes. All are welcome, just be respectful. I live in Albuquerque.
Yess pls come n enjoy in person!!! It's so much better n different experience in person
It's an everyone can come event usually smaller ceremonies that don't allow outsiders or pictures. There's also some reservations that shut down to everyone except their tribe because of their culture
Everyone is welcome at a pow wow.
That was a beautifully put together video, I wish they would have told you more. About the different dances and styles. It would take so much space here but since you now know you are very welcome at Powwows, you will learn so much there.
im native im plains cree which is from canada and powwows are open for everyone you can even buy native made jewlery theres a kinda big powwow in alberta canada which im here its the samson cree nation powwow you shuold come im from samson
Pow Wows are cultural events, they are free to attend for anyone, you are also free to dance in the intertribal dances, Like the MC's always encourage, "Dance your style" .
Yes! Please come to a powwow, even a smaller one will bring lots of context about who we are as people.
Native oklahoman. Cherokee here. They were always open. Food dance and trading post in the old days OF COURSE everyone is welcome like PLEASE bring the dogs and kids!
Yes we welcome all we have them every year as well in Browning, Montana. In July every year in big as well.
Hello from Cody Wyoming! You're awesome keep it up... i know much about Native Americans and have been to many pow wow ceremonies...much respect😊
I just want to say thank you for asking about the traditional powwows and whether people are allowed to go or not I just want to say thank you and it's not about the culture you are it's about the spirit you have
For the most part yes, it’s open to the public, but there are certain ceremonies that are held within the tribe.
Humans evolved in tribes. We need to always remember that.
She:kon, Haudenosaunee from Six Nations of the Grand River, just wanted to let you guys know that there are an incredible amount of Afro-Indigenous people on Turtle Island (North America). Our nations accepted you long before the United States did. Many Haudenosaunee were genocided out of New York State in 1779 by George Washington "the village destroyer", however our council fire still burns at Onondaga and the Confederacy is still strong.
The long walk your referring too is commonly called the trail of tears bevause many native men women and children died on it,it was a forced march where many died of cold and disease that ended with the massacre at Wounded Knee
I'm almost positive every pow wow would love to have any one come and enjoy. I strongly encourage going to one if you have the chance. They will love it
The number is just so the judges can keep track of who had the best dance. It’s a competition it’s called the gathering nations in New Mexico Albuquerque.
Powwow, the only event in North America that has no racism!
I know this is way late, but one thing you can do.
No matter what state your in, there will be a powwow somewhere.
Depending on where you reside, you may close to a location of an annual powwow.
Just about every single state has a few powwow through out the year.
Like I mentioned earlier, Depending on where you reside, you might be close to where powwow celebrations, take place.
powwows are open to anyone who wants to come, just be as respectful as you would anywhere else in the world
Can't say for everywhere but where I live all the pow wows are open to everyone. I probably see more Asian people at our pow wows than First Nations people lol
My husband is Navajo and seeing that live is intense, beautiful and majestic!!❤️🔥
Cultural sharing and seeing others so close together just different ways songs and dance equal in our heart
Everybody is welcomed at the pow-wows, thanks guys, we appreciate you all 😎🌷
I LOVE Powwows! Rainbow Tribe was foretold and is welcome! You'll love it! ❤
I am native and yes you can attend pow wow and. Learn about the tribe and learn how to make jewelry,lead work, dreamcatchers ect
Yes.. we do .. all is invited
Oh no for sure . Even spiritual events as long as your invited your good . I appreciate the good medicine you guys got
We are very open to everyone coming and participating in our culture, it's meant to teach and experience others and let them know we're still here. I'd be more than happy to have y'all come to our Eastern Shoshone days powwows and even our little pageant of gift to the waters here in Wyoming.
You talk to indigenous tribe around the world we all share the core belief of living with nature.
First off thank you for the video. Yes we love to have everyone come and enjoy themselves at the pow wow. There will be dancing as well for everyone don't matter if you're indigenous or not. There are rules even for us, don't touch anyone's regalia without asking, don't touch anyone's hair without asking, ask if it's ok to take pictures and videos, also ask before taken someones picture in there regalia, no drinking alcohol.(MOST IMPORTANT RULES 1 don't leave without trying Frybread 2 don't leave without trying the Indian Taco and 3 Enjoy yourself and don't be afraid too talk to use ask any questions you have) if you have any questions id be happy to try and answer them every tribe is a little different i'm Mi'kmaq from Canada the real name is Turtle Island.
I’m Mvskoke, i loved having natives represented everywhere but sadly it’s all going away. I even love when lil white kids wear the feathers, any representation and involvement makes me so happy
Sault ste marie tribe of chippewa here! yes everyone is welcome to Jintamok! Aho!
Hello to you The Demouchets, I am new to your channel and became a subscriber. I am a white person who got the privilege to go to the Gathering Nations in Albuquerque, NM at the Pit (University of New Mexico). It was an experience of a lifetime and you should experience it for yourself. You might even meet some famous Native celebrities, I met Gary "Litefoot" Davis(actor/ 1st Native American Rapper) who is the actor that was in the movies Indian in the Cupboard/ Krull.... when I was there back in 1997. You will definitely enjoy learning about the culture of the different tribes.
For most tribes, its pretty much just a festival while they also practice ceremonies and such during it.
For my tribe, Omaha/Umoho tribe, we gathered like this as a celebration for a completed harvest and goes on for 3 days and we call it Hede'wachi
Yea they are open to anyone, much love from SC
If you happen to go-to a powwow near where you live you must get a "INDIAN TACO" THATS LIKE the main attraction AYE LOL...!! 4REALZ MMMM
It was men's fancy. Woman's fancy, but mostly I see a grand entry. A grand entry is an introduction to all the dancers of the weekend. Both male and Female. And yeah, please show up and most of all talk to us. Ask us questions!?
Great video! I live in Lubbock, Texas, but I am originally from Standing Buffalo Dakota Nation in Saskatchewan, Canada.
No we welcome everyone to come and enjoy..we have good food ,beautiful beaded work,and the nicest natives..I’m from prairie island Minnesota so your more then welcome ours is in the second weekend of July but also a small winter powwow at the treasure island casino in Welch mn
No matter what we’ve been through our messages is always love and acceptance to what we call,”all our relations!” Our values and way of life often differ from some in the fact that we take only what we need and try to sustain what we have left from mother earth!
If you want to see the true scale of the pow wow you should look up Gathering of Nations Grand Entrance.
I think it's important for you to know as well that many Native Americans identify with Hip Hop, Rap and the blues. There is a kinship there as a people that can relate to those genres of music rooted in being disenfranchised and on the outside looking in of all that glitters in both Canada and the US.
Cheers.
❤️❤️ We’d love to hear more about our similarities, but we don’t know any Native Americans to help us learn the culture better.
I would google for a pow wow in your state. You may be closer to an indigenous community than you think.
Everyone is welcome to our event and ceremonies just gotta ask most ceremonies people keep secret
Yes! We welcome anyone who wants to learn
Yes I am a Native American and we allow all races to our events and are always happy to share our heritage and culture
I remember a school from Japan came to Canada Alberta just for the pow wow
Go to a pow wow, embrace the culture. Talk to the people and learn, we’ve got a pretty great history and the people are the most embracing.
Yes all are welcome, even adopted if they want to stay..
I got a 14 yr old german brother this way.
He grew, and entered the service.
He married a cousin and they had a daughter.
He has since passed but remained until he did
Aniishanaabe- Leech Lake Tribe- Minnesota
If you guys want to see a genuine Native American ceremony, then I definitely would be very happy to invite you to a sacred one
Yes, we do it's the largest pow wow in the nation and it's for to have people learn about our culture .It takes place in Alb. New Mexico in April this year the 25th thru the 27th hope you can join us
Thanks !
Yes! Yes! Yes! We love spreading our culture.
There are 6 categories... Mens traditional dancer, mens fancy feather dancer, mens geass dancer, women's traditional dancer, eomens fancy shawl dancer,and womens jingledress dancer.
And each dance represents something different.
There's actually 10 different dance styles! Men's Chicken, Traditional, Grass, Fancy, & Straight and Womans Buckskin, Fancy, Jingle, & cloth, and hoop dancers also
That's the basis for Pow-wows to bring everyone together .Buffalo N.Y by way of Shawanaga first nation reserve
🎉to learn is to participate and interact . Always good to enjoy the atmosphere. It's Intertribal - all is welcome besides the contest.
A good powwow video to watch is, Rock Boy MT celebration, wild horse 4th of July celebration Umatilla reservation, Mojave celebration, Crow nation celebration
All people are welcome. We have all ethnic groups integrated in our people's. We truly don't discriminate. My daughter is white, Mexican and Arapaho.
i believe for contest it’s judged for whoever dances the best, and there’s different stories for every dance like jingle and chicken
Of course everyone is welcome 🙏
We 100% allow outsiders to come learn about our culture 🪶🪶🪶
Have a good time and try some fry bread haha. Get some awesome beadwork as souvenirs. Everyone is welcome. Hello from Yakama nation/Alaska native
Hi new to ur channel 😊 I am an indigenous female nd yes everyone is welcome nd u can also come out nd dance on the inner Tribal song .. 😊
Pow wows are put on for ourselves and outsiders. Sundance's and other sacred gatherings like that are a lot more strict depending on the tribe.
Almost all indigenous events are open to everyone, even some scared ceremony’s not all but about 95% :))
Powwow is for everyone and is a public display of a portion of our culture. Ceremony is what no one is invited to and is what is kept private, you’re more than welcome to come to a powwow and the people will welcome you with open arms, just don’t step on any granny’s toes, native granny’s are crazy if provoked or if drinking🤣🤣
Of course you guys are welcomed 😊
Pow Wow are a great thing…….. tribes dating back for centuries with dance and songs……… “some ceremonies” are not allowed videos, pics and other “things”…… but Pow Wows are for everyone to enjoy an experience…….. there is actually a UA-cam’r who went & lived with Natives and Dances… look it up
Yes, please come. ❤❤❤
Most definitely everyone is welcome
Where are you located? Could send info on upcoming pow wow nearby.
Everyone is welcome to come to the powwow just don’t touch or take pictures without permission and when we dance we tell heal people tell our warriors stories to honor them
The numbers are for the competition. These dancers do this pow-wow to make money as well as to express the culture and for snagging lol
You should react to stomp dance too
