Alaska powwow, looking for Drum/dance group!

**WocusWoman** · 01-12-2005, 12:24 PM

I'm still searching for that excellent drum & dance group that would love to travel to Fairbanks, Alaska. This traditional powwow will take place July 22, 23, & 24th of 2005. The honorarium will include airfare for up to a 10 member group, room/board, and a blanket dance. This part of Alaska is gorgeous that time of the year! If anyone is interested please go visit the powwow website at; www.midnightsunpowwow.org . Keep in mind that before the powwow committee decides on a group, we will want you to submit, a photo of your drumgroup(dancers in regalia), a sample of your drum's songs, and a letter of interest(tell us about your drum). Thankyou for you interest, Wocuswoman

Still looking for some interested drum group. Oh, yeah we will include ground transportation to get around.

I have an additional piece of information to add; the Midnight Sun Intertribal Powwow has set a deadline of March 1, 2005, for interested drum groups to get their information sent in. On top of air-travel, a place to stay, and a blanket dance, we have added ground transportation, and a small stipend for the drum/dance group that is chosen. Please, if you are interested please inquire here or at the powwow website, we need more drum groups to choose from and would like to build up a list of qualifying drum groups for future powwows. Thankyou, WW

Still searching, thankyou for the PMs I have received. WW PS. The Midnight Sun Intertribal Powwow will be held in conjunction with the World Eskimo-Indian Olympics for the first time in the powwow's history. If you want to know more about that event check out their website, or use the link at the powwow website.
