I thought I would share a story from a powwow I went to in june.

I myself am a spectator currently (am hoping to learn to dance). The Mc had announced a dance where everyone could go out. Lots of young kids and older people went, but one thing I found really inappropriate was a girl that was maybe 14. She decided she wanted to get up and dance. She was wearing really short shorts and a bikini top! Her mom was sitting right there and let her go out there like that. She didn't even make a full circle, I don't think. Then she ran back and sat down and put a shirt on. I think that is pretty disrespectful.

I don't know how many times I have seen non native women wearing short shorts and tanktops, or bikini tops try to get out there and dance.

My least favorite, but funny incident happened at a small powwow several years ago. I wanted to kick the mc's @zz. He announces the next song is a 2-step, then he explains it's a social dance and it's women's choice. He takes it a step further and says that the women are to ask the men to dance, and if they refuse the men have to give them money. You should have seen the biker mommas and hillbilly women go running to get their mits on an NDN man or his money. Then there is me, holding my 6 month old son, standing with my other 3 children while my wife is going to the bathroom. Here comes this (still think she was on something) biker momma missing half her teeth, wearing a tanktop that was at least a couple sizes to big, stuff just hangin out, her daisy dukes, flip flops, with the fluffs tied to the aligator clip in her hair. I try to explain I can't leave my son and my wife is in the bathroom and she starts demanding $20. I was getting thoroughly embarrassed since she was starting to make a scene, saying the MC said if I refused her I had to pay her money and she wanted $20. Thank god her comes my wife, having observed part of this on the walk back from the bathroom. She walks up, takes my arm and smiles saying to me "I'm sorry I took so long". Then she smiles at the biker momma and says, sorry but my"HUSBAND" promised me this dance already. I was never so happy to see my wife!!!!!!
