The Pow Wow


            I saw Pow Wow show for the first time. Of course it was the first time to know them for me, too. I didn’t know what it is and how can I understand their culture. When I watched Pow Wow video in the class, I thought it is very interesting but little bit scary. But today I went there and felt very impressing because they proud of their culture and tried to it very seriously. The dance was kind like animal. I heard native American people have animal spirits, so I understand it when I saw their dance. They danced strong and powerful. Dram sounds was also powerful. They seem to like big and fixed rhythm. They sometimes shouted. I guess it has the same thing as animal’s voice. Besides, their closes were very interesting. Almost of all wore bird’s feather and big hair decorations. Their clothes have many colors. It means fire. Especially female clothes were colorful. I liked a woman’s clothe. It was pink which my favorite color. I reary like that. Little children also danced. It was very cute and made me happy because these children danced very hard like adults. The outside of the Pow Wow, there were a lot of native American cultural things. For example, there were cute accessories. I liked earrings, necklaces, bracelets. There were a lot of kinds of color. I wanted to make my own accessories but I had no time. My friend made her bracelet. I’m so jealous. And there were foods, too. I didn’t eat but it smells like pizza. If I haven’t have dinner, I could eat them. Anyway, I really enjoyed the Pow Wow. I want to know about native American culture more. Native people may think they should not forget their culture and their spirits. I think Pow Wow is reminder for American people and it shows us defferent culture. I like that.
