Pow Wow Oglala Lakota Nation Pine Ridge 2013

Grand Entry

[@ServingOthers99]

seeing the younger children and even just the young adults dancing in full regalia...I have chills. I am not of the Lakota or any indigenous nation in the USA, but that is a universally beautiful thing right there, the older generations passing on the legacy of their culture, their spirits, their connection to the great Mystery and to their own history, as well as present and future. The younger generations carry us forwards. Much love to the Oglala, as well as all the indigenous peoples and nations of Turtle Island from north to south. Your cultures and traditions are incredible.

I'm 87% Native American. My mother is of the Lakota Sioux and used to take me to these pow wows. I could feel my roots in the soil, in the land. My father who is Irish, named me after his grandmother, but that's a different story. My mother didn't like my name much and she used to call me '' little rabbit '' in Lakota. Love you Mom and Dad. See you in a week. xD

[@e13kid]

How can you be 87% Native American if your dad is Irish? You'd be a maximum of 50%.

[@nnotcamille]

e13kid He’s not my real Dad. Step Dad. He married my mom when she was six months pregnant with me.

Les danses et costumes traditionnelles des natives américans people sont grandioses et de toutes beautés. J'admire la force de votre peuple et prit beaucoup pour vous. En France je suis de l'Escadrille Sioux, alors je sais que ce n'est rien mais j'ai une grande fierté d'appartenir a celle-ci. Vive les Natives et vive la liberté.

My apologies for bothering ,however you coment caught my attention. Fancy a few questions sometimes?

[@phantombermuda1990]

I'm currently leanring Lakota as a second language and I get to go to the March Pow wow here soon. Its awesome learning a new culture and especially Lakota. I almost feel like I'm apart of it. Its my favorite class and I cant wait to learn more! 💚

[@saucerfull1]

Why?

[@OummMohiEldin]

It made me cry, such a beautiful people, the true Americans☺️

[@alexmason2659]

You know about 15 to 20 thousand years ago Native Americans immigrated over here during the ice age

[@cupnudeless]

[@JoyofSatanTestimonial-nm4hu]

@@alexmason2659 I think specific genes were developed here in America though that make the Lakota people Lakota, along with other specific Native American types.

I wish i could go to a powwow , and specially a oglala lakota one , the native american culture is so beautiful and amazing

[@emersonphillips1349]

Kimimila TwoLance-Steele I would also like to say how beautiful your culture is I love it so much I wish I could pay my respects to your elders and everyone from the Lakota people and Native American people to show how much your culture is respected Kind regards Mia From Australia ❤️

[@saucerfull1]

@Kimimila TwoLance-Steele ...whats about Tacha Ushte Lame deer...I read the book with the interviews of him. And I had an experience with medicinman(a german fellow who learned this from the son of lame deer). Incredible to meet the special spirits in that ceremony ! It was in germany.

when i was 5 i was adopted out of the rez, but i still remember dancing at powwows and hearing the music, but i didnt know that only natives did it, so i always thought we would still go to pow wows, sadly this is the closest i can get to pow wows, this is the closest i can get to my culture, to my family.

[@naydrille]

j'adore ils sont trop beaux ce peuple a su garder ses traditions que jamais elles ne se perdent , dieu les garde

[@CRAZYHORSE19682003]

Question, do the Oglala call themselves Sioux? The origin of the word Sioux comes from the Pawnee, it was a term to describe the Lakota and it means enemy.

[@shannonking7805]

I HAVE SOME ORGANIZATIONS AND POSSIKBLE DONERS THAT WANMNA HELP. WHAT CAN WE DO FOR U

I went to one on a reservation around the Four Corners of Colorado. It was extremely wild with lots of dancing and spinning. It was the best thing I've ever seen.

You have made me into the person I am today, and I am forever grateful and appreciative, thank you for preserving and saving your beautiful culture! But you also saved me, and I say thank you always, for there is no word in the English language that can explain how I feel! Peace, love, and unity!

[@ronaldshank8695]

I would LOVE to go to a powwow sometime! I could feel their spirits as the drummers drummed & the dancers danced!!! It was powerful for me. The only regret that I have in life is that I'm not full-blood Native American. I'm only 1/6 blood. If I could become full-blood through a blood transfer, I'd do it so quickly that it'd make a fast-hopping rabbit look like it was moving in slow-motion!!!

[@cornucopia8591]

I hope that other 5/6 is from coyote, grizzly and the eagle? Be proud of your parents and grandparents, respect their lives as they gave you the birth and heart to love.

[@wadedowdell6774]

I am so happy to see this. I'm an Anglo-American from California. I had nothing to do with the conquering or suppression of folk on this continent, although it is possible that some of my ancestors did, but I don't know that. I just happened to be born here, and I love the music and dance of the Plains Indians and of the Indians of my local area (Miwoks, Nisenans, and Maidus).

[@mommam.6101]

I've always been drawn and attracted to Native American culture, music, and dancing. I had a DNA test done through Ancestry.com thinking maybe it was something in my DNA. No, I'm just a wannabe. But I think it's a way of acknowledging that our modern way of life has alienated us from the natural world. However, we have not tamed nature and we are still at its mercy.

[@kamip5393]

I grew up in foster care, and have had many Lakota brothers and sisters. I'm not Native American myself, but I've had Elders tell me the culture is a belief, not something you must be born into. I respect the culture and all it stands for.

[@awehling99]

I can't forget my first powwow I went to it was on a Friday night up at Rosebud in South Dakota . and that night was cold . and the second one was at the fairgrounds on the same reservation and it was in honor of that served and my dad got to fold up a flag with a natived vet and both of them joined as one big family and that was his welcome home. Then my last one was on the grounds that I helped raked up grass that was thick . what I did I was on a mission trip for a week . I'm part natived American as well I have some black foot and some Lakota in me. These powwows are really special to me.
