Preparing To Attend The Pow Wows 2019

By William Thomas


Culture is important to everyone. It is important that you learn your origin and the activities people in your community used to do during ancient times. Reading about your history is not enough because you need to see the theory parts in practical. Cultural events are meant to Train the new generation about the events that used to take place during the times of their forefathers. Communities view such ceremonies as sacred and anybody attended them should have the same perspective. They are usually carried out on a specific day or days depending on the tribes participating. Check the community calendar to know when the next event is taking place. When preparing for the function, it is important that you carry the necessary items. Go with expectations to learn new beliefs. This blog post outlines the etiquette you need to have when attending pow wows 2019.

Identify the right type of dressing to avoid messing on the occasion. Check the right dress code from what the attendance wore in the previous events. Swimsuits, shorts, hats, and short skirts are considered to be inappropriate for these functions. Check the writings on your clothing before leaving the house. Ladies should not expose their shoulders even when dancing.

Pay attention to what the announcer or master of ceremonies has to say. It is the role of the master of ceremony to direct the audience. They will tell you when to dance, take pictures, and settle down. If they are using the native language, ensure you have someone to interpret for you. In most events, they have two or more announcers who use different languages.

Follow what the other audience is doing if you are new. Once received them standing you should do the same. People will stand during grand entry to honor the army and dancers. You must not be anxious because the master of ceremony will be announcing when it is time to rise. Persons living with disability should not stand.

Know where to sit for you to have a clear view of the events taking place during the day. Remember that there are seats that have been reserved for special guests, singers, drummers, and dancers. They will usually label these areas to avoid confusion. The grounds you are stepping on is blessed and sacred.

You should not gossip about the event or talk ill about it especially when you are still at the arena. All the comments you make must be positive. People from this community believes that planning evil missions during the function can bring you bad luck. Maintain a positive attitude when singing and dancing.

Find out the acceptable items to bring to the showground. Avoid coming with firearms, alcohol, or drugs of other types. Tobacco is accepted since it can serve as a gift or a blessing. Smoking and taking drugs while in the occasion is an offense that can lead to arrest of an individual.

Dancers and other participants are out there to make money. Respect their job always. Ask for permission from an individual you want to be part of your picture. Some do not allow pictures for fear that someone might steal their designs.
