Defthong · 07-03-2003, 04:07 AM

My daughter is 2 years old and has shown a great interest in Pow wow's. I have taken her to a few and she just loves it. I have been asked to bring her out, but I want to bring her out wearing a dress and regalia. I dont know what to make for her.And I wouldnt want it to come out like some clown from the village people.
I am chumash(santa barbara,ca) but her mother is full blood navajo(Nageeze,NM). I would think it apropreate to dress her in some navajo dress since her mother is full blood.Unfortunately the mother knows nothing of her heritage. I am looking for suggestions on where to turn to in indentifying the type of dress there is. I have read a few things on this site and also found that the type of dance is important so any suggestions would be very apreciatative.

Thanks!
