Whilethere, families are able to share theirconcerns, experiences, and fearswith others facing similar circumstances.Each year, hundreds of children travel toTulsa to be treated for serious illnesses.

This is also a time torenew thought of the old ways and to preserve a rich heritage.There are several different stories of how the Pow Wow wasstarted. Some believe that the war dance societies of the Poncaand other Southern Plains tribes were the origin of the PowWow.Another belief is that when the Native Americans were forcedonto reservations the government also forced them to havedances for the public to come and see. Before each dance theywere lead through the town in a parade, which is the beginningof the Grand Entry.Pow Wow singers are very important figures in the NativeAmerican culture. Without them there would be no dancing. Thesongs are of many varieties, from religious to war to social.As various tribes gathered together, they would share theirsongs, often changing the songs so singers of different tribescould join. With these changes came the use of “vocables” toreplace the words of the old songs. Thus, some songs today aresung in vocables with no words.Yet they still hold special meaningto those who know the song.Many songs are still sung in nativetongue either newly composed orrevivals of old songs. These songsare reminders to the Indian peopleof their old ways and rich heritage.(To find Pow Wows throughoutNorth America, please visitwww.powwows.com/calendar.)46 Wing World
