crowvisions is an unknown quantity at this point
wow!?! this is going in a 360 degree turn that i wasn't expecting. first, i heard that if a whistle was blown during a song, it meant that they wanted the song to continue longer. so i wanted one. don't ask where i heard that, i don't remember. but i'm going to try and find out. now if you'd kindly tell me why it's a big deal to have a whistle, maybe i'd re-think making one. bring my wallet?? what does that mean? plus you must understand something...i have been on a powwow trail for about 8 yrs. now. but that was here in the north east. we run things altogether different up here. so i need to get used to the "western" style gatherings if you will. i understand in your first sentance you meant no disrespect, but still that was a little harsh. so please don't shove your hand down my throat and rip out my heart. if i did something that offended, please let me know. offentimes it's because i'm not used to your powwow customs. and that goes for anyone else out there whom might think i'm just another wasichu (sp?) trying to be indian :( yeah i have light skin, but my grandmother was half. the rest of me is french canadian. so i'm still learning about my heritage.
