Bell Pow Wow 2005 Gourd Dancers

[JLWing77]

Are these men all U.S. Armed service veterans? From what I understand the Gourd dance is Native veterans. Is that correct?

It doesnt matter where the gourd dancing originated from. we are all related under our creator. We borrow and grow in our ancestors. And gourd dancing is from our ancestors. Lets not sound like the white mans church, claiming that their church is the true church from others like baptist, assembly of god,catholics etc. etc..We can be as one in our spirituality, and grow as a nation as one.

sorry but kiowas got the gourd dance from the cheyenne these songs have been used in our ceremonies for a long time...kiowas just added words

[blackcrowheart]

I understand that the Gourd Dance is Kiowa. But is it wrong for other tribes to have societies if they were taught by the Kiowa? Not that I'm saying the Cherokee Gourd Society was, I don't know them. It's just a curiosity I have.

The Gourd Dance is a dance that was started in the Kiowa Tribe...

U.N.I.T.Y. is going to Oklahoma this summer of 2007. Natives from all over the nation will be there with their tribe. Come meet new people, share your culture. Their will be entertainment; food and dances. Their will also be workshops for college and health...Last year UNITY went to Buffalo, NY, and it was fun. Research some more about it. See you there!

Pretty good singing and drumming. Who was the head singer for the gourd dance? Where was this dance at? I enjoyed listening to the music. Made me want to dance.

Thank you! I am Native American myself (Cherokee, to be exact). I really enjoy these sort of things. So, thank you again.
