what 'powwow' means
Still slow. We have the Viola celebration this saturday, about noon at Brenda's house. Apparently the parade is 11 to 12 , so we might not start till later. The women's prison powwow is the next saturday, about 11 or 11:15. Just a note, we may cancel the next friday practice. We are not sure yet, so check later.
I know there is a powwow somewhere this weekend, but I forget where. I will try to find out, or Jerry knows where it is. Also, the Masqotan society powwow ( I am not sure of the spelling) is August 18-20 at Belvidere, at the county fairgrounds. I will try to find out about other powwows coming up.
A while ago some of were talking about where the term "powwow" came from. This is what I found so far:
Some say the word "Powwow" comes from the Algonquian word 'pawauogs' [paw - woog] referring to shamanic practices and healing ceremonies. The word was co-opted by traveling medicine shows and elaborate Wild West shows but, eventually became the name for the annual dance celebrations held across Indian country.
If I find more I will put it up.
