Was it the Caldwell powwow? I was invited to it by a husband and wife who were from the area. I noticed when the young children were dancing they had breaks between songs and the parents would bring water out for them to drink. I found the ceremonies moving.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-4134943748795981142012-07-25T14:11:17.587-07:002012-07-25T14:11:17.587-07:00The last pow wow I went to was in Idaho north of B...The last pow wow I went to was in Idaho north of Boise, and it was 103 degrees, no shade, no breeze, not one blade of grass anywhere. Still, the people were there, the ceremony went on, and they danced all afternoon and into the night. I'm astounded they didn't get heatstroke. Many of the whites, including me, ended up with really bad sunburns. But with all that, it was such an interesting celebration--mourning for those who left in the past year, pride in a returning soldier, joy for new babies. The whole day was very emotional, one way or another.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-38641479713340054212012-07-25T10:49:01.654-07:002012-07-25T10:49:01.654-07:00Meg, Thanks for stopping in and passing the info a...Meg, Thanks for stopping in and passing the info along.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-22725800548195182612012-07-25T10:47:56.374-07:002012-07-25T10:47:56.374-07:00Kelley, You're welcome.

They and many other tribes did indeed struggle to remain off the reservations. <br /><br />Vonnie, there were several smaller children and some adults in full regalia who had blond or light brown hair. So I figured they had some NA in their genetics. I agree, They had a ceremony for a 13 year old who had his first kill and the respect he showed the elders as they went through the ceremony was refreshing. <br /><br />Jacki, sorry for the misspelling. My uncle lived in Coleville, CA and that was a brain/finger burp adding the e. I need to look up the San Poil you sound like another interesting and amazing group to learn about.Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-11659197510565483022012-07-25T10:42:48.078-07:002012-07-25T10:42:48.078-07:00Fascinating, Paty!!

My family is/was San Poil and we never signed any treaties - I guess that explains why I am so stubborn. :)<br /><br />JackiJacki C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14910455197055425431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-80406374040412530602012-07-25T08:49:33.906-07:002012-07-25T08:49:33.906-07:00What a great post.

We whites have little to be proud of in our treatment and extermination of Natives.<br /><br />My first powwow was an emotional one for me. I got to see my 14-month-old grandson carried into the dance circle by his Miq-Maq grandmother, his pasty-white German chubby cheeks turning pink in the bright son. I'm happy he's growing up learning about both of his cultures and heritages. He's a better teenager for it, I think.Vonnie Davis ~ Romance Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07360480832587538895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13024760.post-18220361677193223182012-07-25T08:27:48.724-07:002012-07-25T08:27:48.724-07:00Thanks for sharing!
