POW WOW of the Twelve Tribes

[cougartracks]

Estonko Pappy this is enough to make me home sick for a place only my great grandparents knew and my ancestors roamed free and happy beyond comprehension thank you mvto for another great video.

[PappyStu]

Even with a bit of native blood in me I felt like an outsider...

[Minniver]

This was a wonderful look into a native american gathering, thanks, Pappy.

[PappyStu]

You betcha Hon

[battlebauble]

Pappy, you just make the most awesomest videos! I would encourage folks to be respectful when filming these events. These are sacred gatherings and sometimes the people are very sensitive to being exploited.

[PappyStu]

Yes I was as low profile as I could be...

[FantasticBabblings]

It must be something impressive to see up close.

[PappyStu]

These cams really don't do a good job of taking us there...

[kyyboa]

I've heard that word TRIBE before. Hmm we need to explore this concept a little bit more!

[PappyStu]

LOL roger that

[MrsDigiot]

That was wonderful; wish it were longer!

[PappyStu]

it is... vbg

[suuzzee5]

Wonderful video...thanks so much for sharing. There is a pow wow here in two weeks and I am beyond being excited. There is also a gathering, and there will be educational programs and a parade. It's going to last all weekend and now if it just doesn't rain... :))

[PappyStu]

Oh awesome... if you get film make a response video to the series... Either way its a great way to get to know folks...

[suuzzee5]

Hey, that's a great idea and I sure will do that. You know I'm taking the camera... that's a given. :)

[anakin1814]

Cool!

[PappyStu]

It was....

[TexRooster]

Well Done Stu.

[PappyStu]

Thanks Pard

[kenrg]

Thanks for getting us inside - I'd love to attend something like that someday.

[PappyStu]

Believe it or not I had to be discrete cause they don't really want folks takin pictures...

[randomwritings]

Why were they numbered? Could you win one in a raffle? Thanks for sharing

[PappyStu]

They compete for accuracy of the era and artistic value etc etc

[randomwritings]

Oh thanks for explaining it

[KurtGnu]

And the winner gets... ??

[PappyStu]

You know.... I don't know....

[KurtGnu]

Fair enough.. I found a good video about the Sami, or Laps.. which I think you'll find very interesting.. actually.. but I haven't got you in my friends list.. and I have lost your e-mail.. :P I'll send you the link in a PM.. :)

[KurtGnu]

I've had too much to drink.. Where's the toilet tent?? I need a tea pee.. :) Seriously though, this was most interesting!! And somewhat different from the traditional Swedish Folk Dancing I'm acustomed too.. :)

[PappyStu]

No indians in Sweden?????

[KurtGnu]

We have the nomadic reindeer-keeping 'Laps' of Lapland.. :) Near enough, and they chant in a similar way.. :)

[PappyStu]

Now that would be a kewl bit of film to get...

[KurtGnu]

It would be, but they live in the far North, and when I 'm home I reside in the far south.. and Sweden is a long stretched country.. so sadly I won't be able to film anything, much as I'd love to.. :)

[phekwig]

Part seven? Guess I missed a few... It's great to see First Nations culture alive and well...

[PappyStu]

Most definately the others are all atached to the launch vid

[fehquig]

I will take a look...

[Elfins]
