MY TRIBUTE TO JOHN WIND, A TRUE WARRIOR

I dedicate this to my dear friend John Wind who has a warrior spirit and a heart of gold. Portrayed here is the Men's Northern Traditional, a warrior dance in the style of the tribes of the Northern Plains of the United States (including the Lakota). All of your friends love you, John!

@Thefellasmusic I am Apache, and am trying to learn the ways of my people, I am getting a regalia together with the help of my uncle(who had his comming out on fathers day of this year) and members of a Native Group and I do plan on becoming a powwow dancer I take great pride in being Apache and want to get more involved with the way of my people

[thefellasmusic]

@franktheapachetank That's wonderful, brother! The best advice I could give you is to dance from the heart and learn from those who have gone before you. I have great respect for those who appreciate their heritage and want to keep it alive. Many blessings to you on your journey! I hope to see you dance one day :)

Great video I'm going to start Learning this dance any advice

[thefellasmusic]

@franktheapachetank Are you a tribal member? This is the Men's Northern Traditional. Unless you are a tribal member of the Northern Plains and plan to be a powwow dancer, I wouldn't attempt this dance. You may offend the Native peoples. But it is a wonderful dance, isn't it?

Excellent piece of work! Thank you very much for Sharing!

What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!

Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!

A New Friend
