Thobias go to as many powwows you can make friends & don't be afraid to ask questions learn to dance all styles, enjoy your self & dance intertribals, & learn to bead, support natives by writing your city council & vote for their rights & subscribe to native news, you'll get plenty of opportunities to vote, if you start making your own Regalia & wear it without nonage & dance without years of practice you just might be labeled a wannabe. not all people will think that but a lot will. here are a couple of sites

If you want to dance - dance. For the most part if yuo do things in a right way and you have a decent outfit you'll most likely be ignored anyway. I wouldn't worry about it. It amazes me sometimes wehn people come on here and ask questions then get a variety of answers they didn't want to hear in the first place then cry foul because people react and are picking on them.

I agree with Charlie. Just dance. Yeah, we'll notice you at first but yeppers, you'll be ignored afterwards.

Just don't make an a** of yourself dancing wildly. We might laugh. While laughter is good, it gets a little old after.

Don't come out with a silly lookin' outfit.

Don't let newspaper photographers take pics of you. They might print them and depict you as a genuine native person. We hate that s**t.

One more thing. Don't enter competition. We take our dancing seriously. A lot of you dudes can't keep beat and you throw us off.

Just dance.

Never mind what I was about to say. It's not worth arguing about.

Once again - the Spectators forum is for newbies to ask questions and get answers in a moderated forum - we believe this is a safer way for them as it avoids flaming and rude comments (well mostly avoids anyways)

It takes time for the mods to get back here to review and approve posts - we do our best to check frequently but hey gotta work and pay the bills too!

Pettifogging: Quibbling over insignificant details.

Okay! Let's not quibble. I am way too old and decrepit to quibble, or bandy. I might fall asleep in the middle of the quibbling.

While we are not quibbling, I have a question. Why do I not see "Golden Age" dance in your list of dances? Does it go by another name in other places, or is that a dance unique to the Mohican Ohio Pow Wow?

Unique? Not unique for you may have men's northern traditional golden age, men's grass golden age, men's southern straight golden age, men's chicken dance golden age, men's smoke dance golden age, women's northern traditional golden age, women's southern traditional golden age, women's jingle golden age, women's fancy shawl golden age and women's smoke dance golden age.

So which golden age are you?
