I took many different notes on how the Indians acted during the whole presentation from the way they responded to our national anthem to the color of their clothes. The tribes of each dancer were not specifically exposed so the dances I was not exactly sure where they originated from. I can definitely say they are very different from the dances of my people. Forgive me for comparing and contrasting to the way my tribe does things, but I saw many differences. When the event first started I found it very strange because we listened to

DAPL made me more aware of our environment and realize how one thing could drastically affect so many areas of our world. It also made me see that there are many cons but there are also many pros.…

    On Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm, I have attended a performance by Joy Harjo and her friends Mitch Taylor who played the guitar, Dave Copenhaver who played the bass guitar, and Smiling’ Vic Gutierrez who played the drums and vocals. I had specifically chose this performance to do my report on because I wanted to feel what actual Native American music would be like in concert as opposed to what we naturally think of when it comes to Native American music. For me, that would include heavy drumming and dancing, which are usually even-pulsed with a variety of vocables.

    Native American tribes danced in drum circles and sounds that were unique to each tribe, which was a tradition. Pow-wows are significant in many ways which began the merging of old and new traditions because of forced migration into reservations, which resulted with many of them going into Oklahoma.

Along with the Kiowa, the Comanche tribe also created a new dance and celebration tradition, known as a “picnic.”…
