I went to this pow wow when I was eight years old in Rocky Boy. My Uncle used to be a captain on the force and my Aunt a Social Worker.

My grandmother Guadalupe Gonzales from Bejer de San Antonio, Tejas, Commanche Chief of Texas now as a grown man wish the best for all tribe's of every nation. I'll pass wisdom to everyone. The original design of powwow was to bet the seeds of wheat, and flour in by foot even the roots of the plant stepped on till the dirt was soft enough for the wind to carry the top of soil, just before a storm the elders keeped called a farmer almanac that keep tracks of rain fall thru growth patterns of crop's naturally. A secondary measure just in case the settlements of north rerouted water flow's the state of Texas greatly needed.

Back in late 60s early 70s a different style of Fancy cane out of Rocky Boy! Neck bustle was much smaller northern using secondary wing feathers. Back bustles was the larger spike feathers. Rocky Boy started the use of sport knee pads above bells which were used for flips and sometsaults and tricks on one or both knees! Cool thing can use small neck bustle for Chicken Dance and larger back bustle for Traditional since Northern Bustles no hackles
