billy:
You have brought out some interesting points.
If powwows never had contact with tourists: I don't think it would have been a bad thing. I think more traditional tribal
dances would have survived that were closer to their original intent.
Fancy feather dancing originated before the wild west shows. "Competition between early fancy dancers" was born at wild west shows. Not all fancy dancers danced at the wild west shows.
AS for Haskell, I am not going there (as in school right now) . . . The reason I'm a Haskell Rascal is . . .
"I was made there!!!"
ROFLMAO!!!!!

P.S. on BS
I really don't think powwows had a thing to do with the Boy Scouts unless you were involved in that organization.
