Kalispel Pow Wow?

Did you go to Cusick? What did you think of everything?

I went to this pow-wow, I had a good time. The Kalispels have one of the nicest pow-wow grounds in the country. If there was a downside it was only that there was a lot of ties on Sunday.

There were a lot of positives though. Lots of dancers, 32 drums, free buffalo bbq on Saturday, nice shaded arena, a decent MC this year, free bottled water, I can't really say anything bad about this one. I know that some people want to see a drum contest there, but at the same time I know that some of the locals like the pow-wow the way it is, more manageable for them, and you gotta respect that. I will be back there next year.

Oh yeah, some winners:

Men's Tradish
1. Leon Old Elk
2. Irvin Tso
3. Colby White
4. Todd Beebe (its been awhile)

Men's Grass
1. Joe Sam Scabby Robe

HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA.....

.....that's a good one.

I heard all of them sing at one time or another.

They are all great for singing though, no complaints there, they can hold their own and dancable too . . . . .

**kneegrow_native** · 08-09-2006, 04:37 PM

I was ready to go over to the World Class Wrecking Crew and throw a blanket over their drum on a few of their songs.......man, they just sucked!!!!!!

Bull Lodge wasn't much better either, I thought they were drunk at first, turns out they just sing that way!!!!!!

LOL!!!!!!!

BTW, I was kidding (to all the folk that took me serious).....well except for the part about WCWC sucking........well, maybe not......awww hell, who knows???!!!???!!

skoolgyrl_2004 · 08-10-2006, 02:25 PM

Don't be so hard on WCWC. . . .geez. . .only doing what they love..........

I can't speak for the others

But I know WCWC was just wanting to have a good time and wanted to sing.

Very funny though. . . . . .I"m surprised you even said that!!!!

I'm cool with the fellas of WCWC, just a little self depracation going on here.

What a weekend, though. Besides our drums being NotSoGood, I don't know why there aren't more people attending this one. Decent pay, bad @ss grounds, good stickgame tourney; other than it being out in the middle of nowhere, but, what powwow isn't!

I know it's been awhile since I've gotten out and about, but as far as the NW goes, these are pretty much the best powwow grounds I've seen since Kamloops.

As far as this thread, like Tony Montana said:

"I always tell the truth! Even when I lie."
