POW-WOW

06/13/2019

The word "pow wow" is derived from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning "spiritual leader".

A pow wow (also powwow or pow-wow) is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities. A modern pow wow is a specific type of event for Native American people to meet and dance, sing, socialize, and honor their cultures. Pow wows may be private or public. There is generally a dancing competition, with many different types of traditional dances, music and regalia.
