pow wow

I think the Pow-Wow was very powerful.  According to the pamphlet which I got there, Pow-wows are the Native American people's way of meeting to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old and making new friendships.  First, many Native American dancers came into the Sparks with the performance of big drums. During the opening  ceremony, every spectator stood up.  The musics were played live by 5 or 6 men.  It was very powerful and felt spirits.

The many iron boards were on their costumes.  It was called the Jingle, and made beautiful sounds.  Also they used the feather of the bird for the hair ornament.

Their dance was very unique, and interesting for me.  I think it express birds.  I want to know why they are dancing like a bird. Even small children was dancing very well.  I surprised.  The long-haired people of hair were braiding hair.  Since I took a picture with a Native American woman, I am glad.

During the opening ceremony, things like intense sticks is burned.  I smelled it.  Dancers covered with it.  It is like Japanese custom.  In conclude, there is many interesting point and several similarity between Pow-wow and Japanese custom, so I want to know about their history more.
