What is a Powwow?
Singing and dance for religious and celbrative occasions has always playde an importtant role in North american indian culture, with great variation from tribe to tribe. the modern powwow dances describe from the ancient traditional dances of the prairie indians. which has over time been developed and spread to all tribes from the northernest Canada to the southern USA. And now to europe to. A socialmeeting place powwow is first and foremost a socialmeeting place, where you gather to meet friends and family. Dance, sing, preserve the indiantraditions and at the same time meet new ones. Powwow represents a living culture, where new songs, dance steps and styles emerge – often with roots in old traditions that are reviving – and where fashions for dance costumes change from year to year.The song and dance are the core of a powwow. powwows are open gatherings, where all are welcome. there are a range of community dances, called ”intertribals” and ”social dances”, in which everyone can participate. The history. around 1900 the popularity of the dance was declined, especially among young indians who grow up in boarding schools. All native native children were required to go to boarding schools where they received american values and education. it was forbidden to speak their own language and practice their own culture. Man tried for 50 years to prevent the dances. while the children were taught by the older generation to hold on to old traditions.
The Committe, Mc and AD.
MC (master of ceremonies) The mc explains what is happening, announcing the program as it goes on and who is going to dance next. AD (arenadirector) is responsible for the arrangement. It’s these two and the powwow committee that make sure everything runs smoothly throughout the event. Show respect by standing up and removing your hat for special songs such as the Grand entry, flag song and honorsongs. Listen to MC he tells you when to get up. last but not least: dance, sing and have fun!
Why do we dance, european?
It’s easy to misunderstand. We don’t want to be indians, we enjoy being europeans. Instead we honor them through the dance. Powwow came to europe with indians from the Usa. some want to spread it to other cultures our own culture there is nothing that corresponds to this. It still feels completely natural to dress in an indian dance costume. It should reflect who you are. Since we cannot have our own symbols, we have to ”borrow” them. Made with great respect for their culture.
There is a powwow etiquette.
How to behave in and out of the area. alcohol and drugs are completely prohibited. listen to the conferencer, who is called MC (master of ceremonies). the mc explains what is happening, announcing the program as it goes on and who is going to dance next.
