pink cloud

this may sound crazy, but i am wondering if anyone knows when or if there will be any powwows in West Virginia.I used to attend them with my Grandparents when i was younger,The last time it was around here, i was not able to go and that has been a few years ago.I dont want to miss the next one if there is one coming this way.Please help.Thanks.Rachel

West Virginia huh? Can't imagine traveling to that place

I'll bet that movie Wrong Turn has done wonders for your state's tourism industry.

Seriously, though, Virginia has a few good ones as well as the D.C. area...might be worth the drive to see something real.

hey, that was not very nice..have you ever been here :) ok..its no wonderland,but its not so bad, the people are nice and thats what matters most to me.Besides I am not from here, North Carolina.Anyways, you are right, might be worth the drive...i guess everyone quit coming here because they think its a hole in the U.S but there is freedom so i am happy. :) thanks again.

Singerdad,
Your response was to the point. I didn't see anything wrong in what you posted. Since you seem to be the tourist guide, tell me the bad news about Bell Gardens, CA, lol.

I dont think this place is for me.I thought joining this powwow website, i would meet nicer people than the outside world. I even though maybe i would meet a nice indian man..another crazy thought.Singerdad may have meant no harm with his joke..but i dont know him..and anytime you hear an insult about something you love, be your family, country,whatever...it can easily be taken as in insult,especially when its from someone you dont know.I asked him for his help because i miss the powwow's..and he was helpful..he also made me feel like the place i live has no importance.And so far, i havent made a friend yet...and i didnt join to make enemies or make people mad.So i think i will make like a bird and fly..bye.

I'm sure Singerdad ment no harm to your question. Trust me I have relatives in WV and I have heard it all. You might want to check into powwows in MD too. If it's not to far. MD has good ones,small, but good.

I saure can't help you unless you want to come west of the Mississippi.

PinkC,

If you are going to come onto an Indian website, you gotta understand Indian Humor.

Sometimes you gotta have thick skin and laugh!

I haven't read this thread since my original post/insult/joke

I was going to write exactly what WhoMe just did. Hey Pink Cloud, don't be so sensitive. There's not one person in here who hasn't been teased about where they live. Where do you think all the rez jokes come from?

Just ease up and you'll have more fun.

As for helping, I was trying to. You have to admit, your state is not exactly the hotbed for pow wows, and it's literally thousands of miles away from any part of Indian Country. Go to Virginia or D.C. and see something real. If not, stay in WV and see - well, you'll see
