Nooksack Days Powwow September 21-23 Friday Grand Entry 7pm Saturday Grand Entry 1pm and 7pm Sunday Grand Entry 1pm Host Drum: Black Lodge MC: Gabby Corral Sr. Arena Director: Donald Sampson
Jingle dancing takes endurance. I am almost 42 and it is hard on my knees, but I continue and have passed it on to my girls. Acosia Red Elk is a beautiful dancer. I have seen her at Pow Wows and she always displays herself (and her dancing) with grace, dignity and honor. I have seen many comments in here criticizing dancers. Always easy to do from the sidelines. Everyone who entered that circle to dance did amazing.
I ain't no dancer but when I do ceremony WEYA songs and dances of my people you become energized and don't feel tired or winded. For all purposes you get in the zone and the power is coming from your core and whole being. It is a great feeling if you have truly experienced this. Who the hell needs drugs or alcohol just try them old Indian ways if ya want a real rush... HO!
I want to hunt with bow and knife, to hunt with ancient blood. I am with a Mohawk Ojibway woman. I have learned much, from elders and her family the nightmares and horrors thrust upon them. I cannot fathom the pain and abuse, shredding of an entire culture originally made up of 10s of millions. Precious culture,, you are fucking right!
I dance the way the drum leads my creation.... you dance the way u dance Redbird woman... if u even dance.... just saying.... I feel at peace out there... no arrogance at all.... critics... smh gotta love em. I'm a dancer and even I DONT have time to critisize the WY my fellow powwow people express themselves in that beautiful circle that we receive soo much good Energy from..... and gtfm or whoever u are, don't buy into people changing your mind for u... sounds like a follower to me.
Can't see well through my tears, this really opened my heart and cleared my head of the recent evils going on in the world. I thank you for this post, I had not opened it until tonight, saved many posts such as this for times of need.....Blessings to all.
Hello Beatrice, How are you going these days. I absolutely love the Native American Indian Ways & their Sacred Dances!❤ I'm looking for a genuine & respected "Medicine Wise Woman" to discuss some of my Spiritual experiences that occured June/July 2024. Hope you can help or offer any suggestions. Much Love & Respect to your Indigenous Peoples, their Land & Sacred Ways!! ❤❤❤
These brothers and sisters hold the knowledge and wisdom to love and nurture mother earth. So many sky beings have blessed these people over the centuries. Let us learn the invaluable instructions as our planet needs it now more than ever.
Oooh i honestly can't wait to get back on the Pow-wow Trail again! I'm starting up on jingle dress dancing after a decade so hopefully i can remember the moves. :) awesome dancing btw!
My name is Thunder Cloud, Jingle dress dancers remind me when I was a small boy, I was crying sitting by a tree with my head down when I heard this sound like jingles when it got close to me I looked up n it was this woman wearing a dress n she had bones n cells attached to her dress n ahe said I'm grandmother spirit n I come take care of you n she's been since then, thats why today I charish the jingle dress dance
Great dance, I am admiring the sense of rythm that keep these woman dancing with their own moves, but what moves ! I love this ! All in grace and sensuality !!! Thanx for sharing
I love at how the girls all danced in unison in the beginning at one point. Both were phenomenal an shout out to the 3rd last so poised and elegant, carrying yourself with great respect especially your Fan.
For what it's worth sister: You're beautiful in many ways. Keep being you and we'll all be better for it! This quote comes to mind as well. " A tiger doesn't concern itself with the opinions of sheep".

Fantastic woman, fantastic dance, fantastic culture, pray to The Great Spirit bless You, never give up. Let Your dreams run wild and be brave enough to Follow!!!
wow fucking amazing to you beautiful dancers. you all are chamions no matter what. the last side step song sounds like my late cousins paul rock krech(RIP) side step song but changed.
miss red elk my fave dancer you have amazing fan and footwork, I seen you win old style vs contemp and you had crazy footwork there. your a really good at side stepping
Agreed. I thought the other lady danced just as well, if not better. However, all of them deserve to feel like winners. Let them dance until the moon goes down and the sun says, "good morning."
A boxer in his prime could not compete with this, HELL NO !!!!! Footwork, fancy footwork ..... hoka hay ..Only our beautiful strong women could make it seem so graceful.
Damn TH-cam comments .... lol everyone wants to coach but I don't see them out there... get out and see how it makes u dance!!! I wont critisize... I will only welcome u and compliment u....
There is evil everywhere ,let your heart and the Creator lead you. Remember do this for yourself and the Creator,no one else matters.Misery loves company,do not join. Love and Light to you and yours. P.S. so many years have gone by hope you are doing well.
While I do congratulate the winner for lasting as long as she did, isn't the whole point of an Iron Woman special is to see who can last the longest? I understand tapping out those that couldn't keep up with the beat, but maybe by the last, maybe 10 dancers, I would've stopped tapping them out just to see who would last the longest.
This is my first time watching this competition--I watched for a few minutes, then looked at how long the video was and thought holy crap! there are still women dancing over 30 minutes later? That is amazing.

dude it’s our culture if it’s “NOT YOUR STYLE” then shut up.
TheRaven 1849 could say which one is Acosia?
Yes I enjoyed i use to dance 4hrs straight

Your right but I didn't like the ninth thumbs up, so I gave you the tenth thumbs up.

Because Our Ancestors
Get to Dance Thru Us
Acosia Red Elk was great! Should have won but respect to all the ladies dancing. Amazing endurance!

talk about a cardio workout...WOW! these dancers are elegant, beautiful, poised.
Strong dancers they are, I wouldn't even handle 10 minutes of dancing!! Strong spirits.
Can't see well through my tears, this really opened my heart and cleared my head of the recent evils going on in the world. I thank you for this post, I had not opened it until tonight, saved many posts such as this for times of need.....Blessings to all.

See That Our People
Use The HERBS
Many Traditions and Dance
Lost to Us Because it Was
Forbidden by Government
First They Say BLACK
People Suffer The Most Covid
Now They Say Native Suffer Most
I wouldn't mind to learn how to become a traditional dancer just watching this makes me fill at ease and mellow
While I do congratulate the winner for lasting as long as she did, isn't the whole point of an Iron Woman special is to see who can last the longest? I understand tapping out those that couldn't keep up with the beat, but maybe by the last, maybe 10 dancers, I would've stopped tapping them out just to see who would last the longest.
Great you keeping your culture alive
Omg that was amazing. Congratulations to the winner's who danced til the very end. Think I would have passed out at 10 mins.
that is awesome..beautiful:)
Wow, congrats to the winner. I was amazed at her endurance!! Bravo! Great post
Beautiful medicine. Thank you for your prayers sisters #wado
This is my first time watching this competition--I watched for a few minutes, then looked at how long the video was and thought holy crap! there are still women dancing over 30 minutes later? That is amazing.
I am barely seeing this and it was beautiful to watch.
14 songs in a row! That's CRAZY!
I like the one in the purple with the green fringe around her wrists. that's a pretty dress
