Manataka American Indian Council
Proudly Presents
POWWOW NOW!
2007 Powwow & Events Calendar
January to December
"Powwow was an Algonquin term, "pau-wau" or "pauau", which referred to a gathering of medicine men and spiritual leaders. "Pau-wauing" referred to a religious ceremony, usually one of curing. In the 1800's the European explorers observing these religious gatherings and dances mispronounced the word as powwow. Jennings, The Invasion of America, p. 241. In 1646 the Massachusetts General Court decreed that “no Indian shall at any time pawwaw, or perform outward worship to their false gods, or to the devil....” ~From William Marder
The two syllables pow and wow are not separated. The word appears as powwow.

Everyone is invited to attend this free event, which will feature dancing, drumming, singing, storytelling, a silent auction, arts and crafts and food. This is a non-competition powwow. Head staff: Head Man Dancer, David Bevett (Shawnee) of Oahu, HI; Head Woman Dancer, Ann Shouting (Blood Tribe, Blackfoot Confederacy of Canada) of Cardston, Alberta, Canada; Masters of Ceremonies, Michael Horse (Yaqui/Mescalero Apache/Zuni) of Berkeley, California and Oliver Shouting (Blood Tribe, Blackfoot Confederacy) of Cardston, Alberta, Canada; and Arena Director Dan McDaniel (Choctaw) of the Big Island of Hawaii. Special guests at the powwow include the Wapato Indian Club from Washington State. This youth group promotes cultural understanding and fosters harmonious living among all people through the art of dance. This group is the 2005 recipient of the prestigious Washington State Governor’s Culture Award. Also performing at the powwow is flute player Troy "Good Medicine" De Roche (Blackfeet) who currently lives on the Big Island. Troy’s goal is to express traditional values and the spiritual nature of Native American people through his music. He achieves this by playing original songs from the heart without synthesizer or sampling so the true voice of the flute is heard.
