Because I made the
statement I guess now I must explain why I said this medicine man in grand
entry. Calling out?
Because I was brought
up in a Traditional family and grow up at a time when Paw paus was the ceremony
of choice over powwow, I was use to ceremonies treated as a family affair!
Grand Entry (Our Church).
Pow~Wow Etiquette Vocabulary and Titles:
Please remember, powwow
or paw paus, they are both a dancing prayer with Creator.
Every veteran is
invited, nay encouraged to join in, native or not.
This means that after
the entry dance into the circle (sacred circle) and before the veterans dance,
we have a prayer asking Creator to bless the gathering and come enjoy our
fellowship!
This is all good
however, we must keep in mind that our elders, veterans and non veterans are
now standing at attention and we old people can no longer do this if some bag
of wind is out there just to pat himself or herself on the back because they
are such good speakers.
Creator loves all of
creation and always has an eye on everything. No need to keep trying to get
Grandfathers attention, Creator will attend after your prayer, long or to the
point!
So with this in mind
just say your prayer, get the elders out and into their chairs then go have
your long winded prayer, please?
P.S.
Very important,
Creator does not care if you think that you can or cannot dance, no one can
dance better then Creator however, Creator just loves dancing with you, so
close your eyes and allow Creator to lead, you will enjoy this dance for the
rest of your life, I promise!
