Champion dancers have come . . . and gone.

What is a powwow person to do if they have dedicated their whole life to following the powwow trail and not learned other skills to survive???

Is there life after powwows?

You could become a carney (carnival worker..i.e. hit the switch on the Tilt-a-whirl)

Or if your lucky, maybe even become a Powwows.com moderator.....
Who knows...I'm just waiting on the Oklahoma Lottery to get rolling so I can REALLY plan my retirement...Ay...

Exactly
