This is typically what happens when you get people out of their "traditional" comfort zones. Now...before I go any further, lets make it clear that we are not taking those who are properly brought into a "way" of doing things not their own. I've seen plenty of non-Kiowa who were brought into the Gourd Dance and have "done right" by their "sponsor". These people have good teachings.
But, for example...in the case of those who just take up ways and try to make it their own, they have a tendency not to know their head from their rear end. Cherokee were not "pow wow people"...and I say this because much of the "Woodland Natives" had their own War Dances and other ceremonies. I've seen plenty of times where people who just picked up things ended up doing them in a "bass-ackward" way and are totally opposed to anything different than what they know or are accustomed to.
