Pow Wow

I will talk about the Pow Wow. In my opinion, a Pow Wow is a traditional ceremony and he is deep meanings. For example, we saw traditional clothing, traditional dancing and traditional music. I saw the Indian people who wore traditional clothing looked so dignified. They made clothes with so many beads, and they were so gorgeous and makeup own face. Each design was  different and each person had their own thinking about it design. They also wore feather of eagles on their head. It is meaning of symbol. It means very important. And its color are basically red, yellow, orange. It means fire colors. The clothes are called “regalia”. Then traditional dancing was so interesting. Its dance was such as bird.  The foot step match in drum’s rhythms. Its dance’s name is  “traditional dance” and “grass dance”. The two dances were different types. And men and women also have different dances. The man who was dancing said, “I grew up with dance. So, foot step mean mother earth and heart beat”. He prayed about it. Also, the sound by using drum and voice appears universal. I was so amazed. This dance and music had such deep meanings. Then I heard about feeling of dancing to him. He said, “The best, awesome, joy”. He was proud of it. I felt so impressed. After I ask questions to him, I changed my point of view. I could enjoy seeing it. He was taught dance by his father and his son was taught by him. They took it over for many years. It is very good things. In conclusion, they have traditional deep meanings of the clothing, dancing and music.
