The Gourd Dance is actually the opposite of what you wrote. It was revived among the Kiowa People and shows that the old knowledge did not go away and once again came out strong. One of my best friendʻs is Kiowa and her dad was a proud member of the Gourd Dance society and a proud veteran who served in WWII. I saw him dance at many Pow Wows here in California with other Kiowa, Comanche and Oto people here in Northern California. I cannot think of a better example of the strength of Indian people and culture than this dance.

You got it all wrong, history tried to erase indigenous culture, in fact it was illegal for indigenous people to practice their religion until 1978. The fact that they are dancing and singing their songs is amazing, especially since it wasn't meant to survive. It doesn't matter what they are wearing, sitting in, or utilizing modern day technology what matters is they are carrying on old ceremonies that had been done with their people since time immemorial. Wavoka said it best, " All Indians must dance everywhere, keep dancing".

You have absolutely no idea what you speak of. Come to Carnegie next year and educate yourself. My family would be glad to welcome you to our camp and feed you well.

What a pompous judgemental thing to say about people you don't know. The universe will judge YOU as well.
