I have never been to a PowWow where the dancers received money for their dance. I also never plan on going to one. My clan family and I Dance for The People

Springdeer.

I never knew the "Red Road" was such a high and mighty one

Thanks for judging those of us who enjoy hitting a contest pow wow once in awhile. Most of us who do also hit all the community and traditional dances too.

Anyhoo, looks like a good pow wow - might be worth the drive up there.

Let me get this right. I state what my experance has been. So I am then told how high and mighty I apparently believe myself to be due to stating my experance. Hummm...

Give me a break, you were trying to make a point. If you were just stating an "experience" you would have done that in another post. But, you chose to post this in a thread about a major contest pow wow. We all know what you said and what your point was. You were called on it, and now you're trying to backtrack. Do you by any chance serve on a Tribal Council?

Wyldwolf52 · 03-16-2005, 02:23 PM

I truely belive that dancing for the people is one of the most sacred things that an individual can do. Taking money for it. I can not even fathom that.
No I am not a Tribal Leader. I just strongly believe in the spirituality of the Red Road. I do not want or deserve money for expressing my spirituality. Nor for dancing prayers.
If that is high and mighty to you...Aho

Do everyone regard a powwow as "being good" if it has the money to pay out? Or if it don't have the money to pay out, are they "not a good" powwow?

It seems as though a good powwow is one that has the money to pay out thousands. But then again, that is where the good competition is. I guess you could look at it from different viewpoints.

What do you all think? cuz I just got done reading some posts on some "good" powwows but then the dancers had to wait for their moneys so it became a just "so so" powwow.

thanks for making me think.
