The Powwow starts with some drumming and then a bald eagle is brought out and greets each of the four directions of the crowd in the arena. It was quite a site to see his blind taken off and for him to arch up an spread out his wings. It really was very respectful and dignified and was honoring the bird.
The elder (70 years +) women dance with such dignity.
All the dancers begin entering with the chiefs leading, followed by the head dancers

The powwow was a euphoric experience. I really enjoyed the variety of dances. The shawl dances were beautiful and made my legs hurt. There was a contest and 3 of the girls ended up dancing 3 seperate times in a row for the competition.
