| It's a time to get together with
friends and family, and an opportunity to make
new friends. Pow Wows are
also spiritual ceremonies and should be treated
with respect and honor by all who attend.
Central to the Pow Wow is the drum, the
heartbeat of the Indian people and their
culture. The singers provide the music,
sung usually in their native language. And
the dancers in their beautiful regalia, dance
traditional, hoop, eagle, jingle, and grass
dances. Usually at the close of a Pow Wow,
the spectators are invited to participate in a
round dance.
