Anyone have recommendations for how to wear a round roach with short hair? My hair is long enough to bunch some up and get it through the hole but not nearly long enough to braid and use a roach pin. I’ve been pinning it to a bandana and tying the bandana to my head instead but would like to scrap the bandana if possible. Any ideas?

I am a big fan of visiting the pow-wows in Ocala, FL. It’s a kind of personal thing I enjoy doing for me.

I’m visiting a friend in Denver and there’s a decent sized Pow-Wow this weekend and I haven’t been to one in a while. I miss it. I wanted to take my friend to one and share. Are there any issues or customs differences I should be aware of coming from primarily Seminole lands. I’m a wasichu who just enjoys the events a lot. I had a good friend in my youth who was Lakota and introduced me to them and I’ve always loved attending them. And fry bread. I won’t lie. I also enjoy fry bread. And a frito pie. But anyways. I’ve attended primarily Seminole events. And wanted to make sure I was aware and respectful of any differences to a big Western multitribal event.

Thanks ahead of time!

This is very sensitive subject. I just fear for next child victim while grieving for my child’s suffering, pain and trauma. FIL is a predator of little girls. He is not charged with it because my child is scared and too traumatized to go further with the police investigation. It’s at a standstill until she is ready. She was interviewed by police but too terrified/traumitized to go further with it. She is receiving therapy for it. My FIL SA’d her and when she went to my MIL for help, she told her no one would believe her and mom and dad wouldn’t care what happened. We have nothing to do with them. I highly doubt this is the only child he has ever done something like this. I strongly suspect He is an opportunistic child predator. FIL has been active with powwows for many years (lies about being Native American but is not) ancestryDNA proved he was not. He has public photos up on FB of prior POWWOWS with a lot of little girls, two are of the same girl about 4/5 years old asleep in a camper chair wearing shorts with her legs spread open. He works security now at Powwows. Is there a way to warn these communities of him?

I've read contradicting answers from various sources online and want to find out the truth.

Hi everyone,

I am just now getting back into dancing. I am in my early 20s but have not danced since I was 6. I am wondering if any of you know any websites or places to buy turkey feathers for a bustle and a place to get like 2 pheasant feathers for my roach. Any ideas?

Thank you!

Powwow coming up in Rockport, Indiana (southern Indiana on the Ohio River near Kentucky) https://santaclausind.org/events/bluff-city-intertribal-pow-wow

Any vendors or dancers near Illinois? In need of some for a pow wow in November. I'll take any ideas as well, please and thank you.
