First let’s start
with the last? Gathering of the people. Usually when a ‘Traditions Native
Elder’ speaks (Gathering).
It is because we are
talking about something (Sacred), and gathering is saying “Not to be recorded,
not for sale or stolen”!
And/or a powwow for
our visiting public. Second and should be thinking first?
Paw-paus
We remind our
visitors of the many tribes over in Indian country (Tribes west of the
Mississippi river).
Did not have a
Paw-paus. And our tribes over in the Native American area (Tribes east of the
Mississippi river). Culture and ceremonies from tribe to tribe might differ at
times?
For instance;
Our ancestor’s
gatherings (Chachu)
Where called a
(Paw-paus).
Pow-wow’s
Talking only about
the Native American area (Tribes east of the Mississippi river).
Our powwows
explained in the links above, will also ‘Never have a fire in any circle’ if we
are entertaining ‘young adults and/or children’ for obvious reasons?
The fire then goes
back to ‘in the west of the circle for teaching’.
Intertribal
gatherings or powwows also should not have a fire in any circle, because
dancers dance for a reward of some kind (money).
Creator would never
be in this circle!
Creator could be, if
asked, over in the west of a circle?
