BigBearStyle · 04-03-2002, 10:17 PM

I was just wondering who your favorite trad dancers were?

Red Blanket · 04-04-2002, 09:16 PM

Shra Grey I think That is how you spell his name.

He can Dance & has a Good Personality

The best I have seen is Ray Blackwater and his brother Moses. They are from Canada and come down here to dance Golden Age.:)

There are a few tha I like to see:
1.Bo Goins-Lumbee
2.Troy Adkins-Chickahominy (my cousin)
3.Doug Logan-Saponi
4.Jason Evans-Halowa Saponi

Not to sound arrogant, but I have had people tell me that they like to see me dance. I don't know though. These guys are some pretty tough company to be in but I love all of thes guys as my brothers and support them.:)

One of my faves in this area is Mr. Gary Greene (Nez Perce). Gary really emphasizes the body language of the dance and puts his all into it. He has a graceful kind of "trot" to the way he dances. His son (looks like about 9yo?) dances just like he does. Gary is also reputed to be a very fine beader and roach maker. He is also the kitchen supervisor at the weekly elders' luncheon that my mom used to go to at the Leschi House in Seattle.

There is another local dancer - I can't think of his name - whose dance style is like a soaring bird. His regalia is fairly simple, usually red and white and NO headgear. OK, so the toilet brush he was using as a dancing stick 2yrs ago was a bit of a turn-off, but he has a very nice dancing stick now.

Bufflo Gal - I believe I saw one of the Blackwater brothers at the U. of W. powwow this weekend. He and Gary were both on the color guard for Grand Entry.

Rainwoman - Is John Scabby Robe singing with Blacklodge?

rainwoman · 04-14-2002, 01:56 PM

I think so, at least he was in the fall. I will have to ask my boy, he was just up at White Swan to talk to him about his new bustle.
