Last but not least, as a blog that focuses on history and military, let me offer you an opportunity to provide information, history and suggest some events or experiences. we have an avid readership. Of particular interest would be anything about the warrior culture or honoring warriors such as those who have been in the military. But, feel free to expound on anything you wish.

If interested, send me a message through this account on how I can contact you (like email) to arrange it.

Read previous comment first. As a third point, I would note that the small community event is why there was such a diversity of people represented. It is not an area where there are large communities of Native Americans of one tribe or another. Very likely why it was "inter-tribal".

Last point, there is considerable inter-marriage for two centuries. In such communities as this, there is limited purity, but I appreciate the fact that such people still honor their heritage, however small.

First, let me thank you for the continuing civility of your comments.

Second, I would agree with you that it would be appropriate to seek out the best events and venues to get such an education. I am sure there are better places to do so than a little get together in the middle of no where Missouri; where I was at the time I discovered the event.

Gentlemen, I blog. The castle and bagpipes represents where I blog. We are being ourselves. I happened to attend this get together and put together a little video for those who visit the blog.

I suggested at the time that they should seek out such events and take their children to learn something about our native American culture. Experience America as it were. You are making me regret that considerably.

Dear Soldier whoever you are. I only attended the powwow, I didn't name it. If you are concerned, you will have to take that up with the people who put the event on.

I might note that it was called "inter-tribal" for a reason.

[kehenry1]

thank you for the advise on where we can enjoy more get togethers.

JR...the intemperance of youth is showing.

@comancheballer2 I have a feeling the reason they called it The Osage River Inter-Tribal Powwow is probably because it was held on the OSAGE RIVER!! It's a large river and tributary to the Missouri River, I have fished it many times, in fact the Osage feeds Truman Lake and Lake of the Ozarks.

thank you kehenry for posting this vid. I am one of the gourd dancers following the eagle stalf and flag in on grand entry. yes its a small powwow, small g.e., but we do have a lot of full bloods that come out. one short video cant tell the story of this powwow or the people that put it on. all you "full bloods" that posted negitive comments on here, dont judge the people on this vid based on a 3 minute look. its a 3 day powwow, you missed most of it

@comancheballer2

grow up. nobody owns the name Osage. this powwow is held a stones throw from the osage river thus the name. if there is a ponca river somewhere, why not use the name? do you own the copy right on it? didnt think so.

i have been attending this powwow for 8 years now. i have never heard anyone say that this is the osage nation powwow. The Osage River powwow is held as an inter tribal powwow on the Osage River. just because it has Osage in the name doesnt mean its going to be all Osage tribal members.

The Osage pow-wow is held every June in Eldon Mo , at Miller County Fairgrounds, and it's going on this weekend, , and I plan on going to it this weekend.

[usnseabee07]

@smashXtheXwindows you're right it was not OSAGE it was INTER-TRIBAL, and held on the Osage River, hence the name.

@skatemusic

For some reason, many Osage comments are censored by YouTube.

More reason to go beyond the veil for we offspring.

[skatemusic]

I see no Osage and these look like bad costumes!
