GOD DAMN WHITE PEOPLE WANT TO BE NATIVE

@Sapien94

Why can't 'white people' learn the tradition. Don't judge. White and black are just colors.

is the Pow Wow still in Swanton Vermont and when is it going to be held in 2010?

I love the songs in this video. The one at the end seems to be easier to learn. Do you know what the song is about or the meaning of the song?

[KingdomOfDawn]

The song the Sagamo is singing at the ending is the traveling song. Our warriors would sing it as they paddled in towards the village after a battle or hunting party. You would paddle to the beat of the song, so naturally, it speeds up as you get closer to shore and more excited to see your relatives again.

As for learning it, these are the songs we've listened to since birth essentially. Think of it like how you know all the timing and lyrics to your favorite song.

Well ...

Some old oral tradition stories describe a group of people arriving on the northeastern part of this continent, before Columbus. The time frame you are talking about .. I would say "hmmmmm"

[waypasthadenough]

Is it possible this tribe had european blood before the settlers came after columbus?

[basketman65a]

Well Salmon,

I did view the video and there were no tennis shoes or plywood drum hoops that I could actually see.

It would better serve you to not write these types of comments on my page. You may want to consider apologizing for it. You can either do that now .. or the next time I see you, which will be soon, Jesse
