Welcome to Power Wowzer!


Many Americans have heard of the Native American ritual called the Pow-Wow but most don’t fully understand it. This blog will cover not only the older traditional Pow-Wow but also how it has changed in the modern day. This blog is meant to inform you about what a Pow-Wow is, its history, and why it is important to the Native American people. This blog is summery of the topic so not everything is covered extensively but there will by hyperlinks to where you can find further information on Pow-Wows.

More from the Round House

"The first thing we did on arriving was lift the webbed lawn chairs out of the back of the pickup. We decided where to dig a fire pit and put the lawn chairs around the hole. It was important to have a little place where visitors could come and get brewed tea, or drink Kool-Aid" (Erdrich 272).
    This quote from the roundhouse is from when Joe talks about arriving at the Pow-Wow and how important it is to get up a area where they can meet up or offer drinks to their friends. The Pow-Wow is traditionally  a large event so having a place to meet up with your family and set up camp is important.
