From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A pow wow (also powwow or pow-wow) is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities. The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning "spiritual leader".[1] A similar gathering by California Native People usually in the fall is called a Big Time. A modern pow wow is a specific type of event for Native American/First Nations people to meet and dance, sing, socialize, and honor their cultures. Pow wows may be private or public. There is generally a dancing competition, often with significant prize money awarded. Pow wows vary in length from a one-day event, to major pow wows called for a special occasion which can be up to one week long.
In popular culture, such as older Western movies, the term has also been used by non-Natives to describe any gathering of Native Americans, or to refer to any type of meeting among non-Natives (such as military personnel). However, such use may be viewed as cultural appropriation, and disrespectful to Native peoples.[2]

I'm native American Comanche and I love your native gallery. Great work.
Bob Christopher replied:
Hi Jimmy... Thank you very much for your lovely compliment on my image. It means a great deal to me to hear from a native American Comanche. When I was in Gallup, NM many years ago I attended a Pow Wow and rodeo there. Out of all 21 Tribes that were there I honestly felt the Comanche were the most wonderful. Thank you very much once again...Stay safe... Cheers Bob
