Native American Indian Pow wow - Numaga 2005 Grass Dance 1

Numaga Days Pow wow 2005 - Reno Sparks Nevada. Native American Grass Dance competition 1.

Numaga was the chief during the last major conflict between the whites and the Indian people in the United States. He led the Paiute people during the Pyramid Lake Indian war.

Some white men had kidnapped two Indian girls and held them in a root cellar. When an Indian was going by he heard their cries and a group of Indians rescued them, but killed the men that held them. In response to the Indians killing the kidnappers the whites formed an army and attacked the Indians at Pyramid Lake in Nevada. The Paiutes BEAT the military, and later on they signed a peace treaty. Numaga was called the "Peace Chief" and we honor him with this pow wow.

The Reno-Sparks Indian Colony holds this Pow wow and the Colony is made up of Paiute, Washoe, and Shoshone people of Nevada.

I can't stand these "Weekend Warriors" that claim to be "Native". A lot of these FAKE idiots even celebrate the "4th Of July". What a disgrace to all real "Natives". I was out in Campeche Mexico and was totally blown away. I met with several REAL NATIVES from various Mayan Tribes who spoke nothing but Mayan dialect. This was a true experience. So for all you fake ass every other weekend or month "Pow Wow" going work for the "White Man" all week disgraceful wannabe perpetraters. FIRE BLAZE!
