Oprah on Navajo Rez--Powwow (?)

Evidently, Oprah insisted on staging a powwow during her visit to Window Rock and caused some issues. What do ya think? Maybe we should e-mail her and "educate" her.

Although I love powwows, my tribe is not a "powwow" traditionally-speaking, so I can understand the Navajo's point of view.

How do you feel about this?

There's more on this in a similar titled thread in Chit chat and I believe someone else started this topic also in native issues. You might want to check those out because one of them has a link to an article with a slightly different view on this...
