For those who don’t know. This is opening ceremony before the Pow Wow competitions start. All dancers come out. The circle of life is given recognition. Elders all the way to the youth. Following with tributes and prayer.
Дуже дякую, Канті! I have been to Fort Randall, but never to a powwow there. It's remind me to look up local Powwows again, of the Eastern Woodland tribes. Good memories! 👍🏼😎✌🏼
Are you saying that you don't believe the indigenous cultures of North America also made advances in these historical cultural areas?? Why are you judging them for wearing feathers?? Many people's ancestors danced without clothing- how does this impact their descendants today?? Do you judge every culture based on their ceremonies and celebrations?? Nearly every culture has celebrations with dancing and traditional, historically accurate cultural clothing. Obviously dancing while wearing feathers is only one small part of the MANY aspects of Amerindian History and culture. Feathers represent many things spiritually, as do all the other parts of their handmade regalia. It's a bit insulting if you think the only important thing about native culture is feathers. It sounds as if you need to be educated on native history, survival methods and culture. Do you understand how many of our common foods today come from the source of native peoples in North and South America? I'm thankful that my family appreciates this! Perhaps you should study which foods are native to North & South America, & how Native agriculture historically developed. You should check out the history of the Mound Builder cultures in North and Central America. Their mathematics and architecture based upon astronomy are beautiful and wonderful to behold! Many such places are nationally and internationally recognized as important cultural historical sites. I wonder, how well would you do surviving in the wilderness, if you were dropped off there to live for a while with very few tools? Have your own ethnic cultures experienced 500+ years of continual genocide? In spite of long centuries of oppression, the survivors of this long genocide are to be greatly respected!

Well, if they did they are certainly not showing them.

"It's a bit insulting if you think the only important thing about native culture is feathers." Well, every pow wow video shows them.

"Their mathematics and architecture based upon astronomy are beautiful and wonderful to behold! " I was never taught Indian mathematics in college. As for architecture, virtually every video on American Indians show tipis. No buildings without holes in the top. And astronomy? Virtually all the information available show that Indians thought stars were animals in the sky. "I wonder, how well would you do surviving in the wilderness, if you were dropped off there to live for a while with very few tools?" Virtually all the pow wow videos show very fat Indians playing drums. I too wonder how they would survive. "Have your own ethnic cultures experienced 500+ years of continual genocide" Indians highly value warriors. Yet they weren't as good as Europeans. Indians revere their medicine men. Yet they couldn't save the Indians from the "white mans disease." Indians have highly valued their Indian wisdom yet they couldn't get along with the white man. Or other tribes. Indians valued their prophecies, yet they couldn't foresee the problems their people would encounter. You would think they would learn something after 500 years.
@@SalyLuz-hc6he "Why are you judging them for wearing feathers?? Many people's ancestors danced without clothing- how does this impact their descendants today??" It doesn't impact their ancestors today. As explained, feathers honor the spirits of animals. Modern man mostly doesn't believe in animal deities - they've progressed past superstition (except some religion). "It sounds as if you need to be educated on native history, survival methods and culture." Well, I figure what's presented on You Tube videos pretty much stand alone and don't need excuses.

Do you realize how many common foods today come from every corner of the earth? Not a valid argument. " Perhaps you should study .... how Native agriculture historically developed." Perhaps I should -- I didn't realize that Indians had botanists like Luther Burbank and inventors like Eli Whitney and they had large fields of crops all over their sacred lands. (Funny - those seem to have disappeared now). " You should check out the history of the Mound Builder cultures" I'm sorry - I'm not that impressed with anyone shoving dirt into piles. In addition, there are many examples of mounds apparently built by Vikings and European cavemen. "Their mathematics and architecture based upon astronomy are beautiful and wonderful to behold! " And which mathematics are you referring to? As for astronomy, virtually every civilization used some form of pretending to see animal forms in star clusters. "Many such places are nationally and internationally recognized as important cultural historical sites." Mostly by ancestors of those primitives that want recognition for their mostly useless contributions (we certainly aren't using them today), "I wonder, how well would you do surviving in the wilderness, if you were dropped off there to live for a while with very few tools?" If that happened today, I would asked to be rescued with my cell phone (invented by the white man). Then a helicopter (also invented by a white man) would rescue me. Until then, I could use a gun to hunt with (also also invented by the white man). "Have your own ethnic cultures experienced 500+ years of continual genocide?" So Indians highly value warriors yet they were always losers over hundreds of years? Your so-called "persuasion" seems lacking.

Remind people what they wear is called regalia! Not costumes. Outfits or clothing… semi. But NEVER costumes.
This!
Over centuries humans have advanced technology, art, literature, transportation, mathematics, manufacture, music, politics, weapons, materials, and. communications
And Indians danced in feathers.
