That video looked to me more like one of the silly contests that sometimes crop up at powwows, like a switch dance. There are a couple of dancers dancing a little to suggestively, which in the presence of elders, is inapporpriate, but thats how silliness gets out of hand sometimes!

I'm more surprised that you didn't comment on the "Pocahontas dress" clad white lady out there dancing the way she was. Thats more cause for comment than anything else!!

I think this was just silliness and goofiness....not a huge matter for concern, or an "issue" that needs to be taken up. You'd be amazed at how often this kind of stuff happens at, usually, the smaller powwows. If you take it in the spirit it is meant, there is no harm. I'm sure those overtly suggestive dancers, especially the one hiking up her dress, were talked to by someone in their families. That is the appropriate place to "correct" someone, not on the internet!
