My wife wrote this paper for her college essay, so I give her information on powwows, so she wrote it in her own words and what it meant. Information that was taught to me by my late father and Grand Father, my Grandfather was born in mid 1800's and father was born in 1920, grandfather die in world war two in over seas and father was young at the time. Long ago my Grandfather would hide the children, so the Canadian Government wouldn’t kidnap them and put them in residential schools’, my father was one of the children. Hmmmm There were Powwow events long ago that are same as we all have today. When I was in Quebec, Algonquin man who was my father friend told me that meaning of powwow and how is change over the years and what the word meant. Yes my teachings are very old and never got any of it out of any book… and by the way my wife and me own 10 acres of land on Pine Ridge Reservation. Today Powwow is not the same ceremony it was ten years ago or 20 or30 years ago, it change alot over the years. keep them coming...
