PowWow

A pow wow is the Native American people’s way of meeting.

 

I went to a pow wow on March 9.

 

First of all, when I went there, I noticed Native American people wore traditional clothes.

Each piece of clothing was a little different, and they wore an eagle feather

 

on their head and the back. An eagle feather is worn and touched by only men.

 

Women wore clothes like a KIMONO and a shawl.

 

Second, I saw their dancing. Dancing is very important for them.

 

Their dance is unique because they move their legs with short quick two steps.

 

When I joined the dance, I was a little scared because I saw that they didn’t smile while dancing.

 

However I felt powerful, and a drum rhythm and their voices were moving.

 

Third, I ate Fry Bread. I decorated it with butter and jam, so it was good for me.

The taste was sweet. Finally, I looked at industrial art object such as beadwork and stones.

 

It looked beautiful, so I wanted it. Indeed, a pow wow was a good opportunity to meet

 

and know Native Americans.

 

If you have never been to a Pow wow, you should go there.
