If you are not familiar with these dances, observe and learn. Watch the Head Dancers to learn the procedures. The Flag Song, or Indian National Anthem, is sung when the American Flag is raised or lowered. 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.
