Please stand and remove hats during the singing of this song. It is not a song for dancing. Powwows are non-profit. It depends upon donations, raffles, blanket dances, etc. for support. Donations are encouraged as a way to honor someone.
Any participant can drop money onto the blanket to aid in the powwow expenses.
Support the Committee and buy raffle tickets. Certain items of religious significance should be worn only by those qualified to do so. Respect the traditions. Giveaways, attributes of Indian generosity, are held at many dances. They are acknowledgments of appreciation to recipients for honor given.
