What a Pow Wow is ACTUALLY like *vlog style*

[@emilyanderson1222]

This is so cool, I love that you’re spreading your culture with the world! I’m so glad I got to experience something new!

[@MyaBenway]

Glad you loved❤️

[@1xaaronx1]

@@MyaBenwayI recommend going to my hometown called Chisasibi for pow wow it’s very fun and everyone is so nice there

[@bluenwosu4476]

I'm so happy hour spreading your culture with your audience. The native American culture doesn't get enough spotlight

[@MyaBenway]

Exactly❤️

[@mattv18930]

Goddd. I want to go to one so badly. I am not indigenous but I can’t explain how much I love indigenous culture and want to experience this!!!

[@Josephinep9]

As a Native American if your looking to attend the powwows remember to respect and bring good intentions this is our ceremony’s your attending this is also our culture, dancing and singing is also telling our journeys and remember to ask if you could take pictures or video of someone with their regalia on .

[@Lenora_11]

Didn’t u hear she said she’s Native American too…she souix…

[@BaiLong45]

Thanks for this advice. I'll be attending my first powwow in a couple of weeks. I want to enjoy but I definitely want to show respect.

[@Toshimomo95]

As a subscriber whos from Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada. I feel like I've grown so much closer to you, this video really hits home for me right now. Right now alot of our people are dancing for the lost lives from Indian residential schools. I'm very proud of you for making this vlog, it brings SO much happiness to a girl from a small town in Canada. Thank you Maya. PS: tell your mom she's the bomb.

[@hllrey]

Since I am Turkish, I did not fully understand what you were talking about, but it was very nice of you to reflect your culture to us. i love your vlogs

[@Hanna_0605]

Ohh we have things like this in México too, and it’s also about our culture. I agree that everything u can do and mostly SHOP in this type of places it’s awesome💕.

[@MyaBenway]

Right?! It’s so fun😍

[@ammebee16]

That’s cause most “Mexicans” are Natives too 🤞🏽🤍 🌎:)

[@maleahbird2981]

I love that you finally made a video about your Native culture. Like literally I was about to comment on your last video about it like asking if you could do a video about. And you like posted this while I was thinking about it. I’m Cherokee fyi.

[@samanthabenish]

I loved this behind-the-scenes look at something I normally wouldn't have been able to attend!

[@molly4420]

[@MyaBenway]

Yes we wanted to film one with our medicine women but we ran out of time😭 good to know though maybe we can work something out

[@SarahMariLucas]

This is so amazing I’m from Saudi Arabia and this is the first time I know about bow wow 😍!

[@parisgilbertson8415]

that little boy in the green onesie is SO CUTE😍

[@breadtoasted2269]

Just went to a pow wow too here in Canada and now I’m looking it up on KZbin 😂 oh and the Indian tacos too 🤤

[@robynbird3797]

3:52 the one in the black and light blue that’s my friend we both dance ❤

[@ForeverReddStillHere]

Awesome vlog!!! Respect from Secwépemc Nation!! Pow wows are awesome my favourite is the drums and singing . You should have showed a song that’s where the grandfather and ancestors are at.

[@robinlynn7573]

“Indian taco” 😋 I’m Navajo and we call that a Navajo Taco it’s almost like that lol love how you show your culture 💕

[@hailoweenhailoween5264]

You guys call everything navajo. Even with your identity, I remember years ago when I was a teenager, you guys always made a big deal about how you don't identity with being Native or Indigenous, just Navajo. But I've noticed ever since 2016 when the standing rock siouxs had their anti-pipeline movement and how it mobilized native tribes from all over the nation, all of a sudden, Navajos want to be called Indigenous now lol. I guess quite a few of you got triggered when your spotlight was taken by the siouxs. Non Navajo Natives outnumber Navajos, all they have to do is not include you guys and boom you guys are done.

[@HarleyClaymore]

What me and my parents do is we go sit down and before or right when we get there we get ready and I dance jingle and a cowgirl ish with those boots and stuff I’m working on dancing that and fancy also I am OBSEOBSESSED WITH INDIAN TACOS

[@katy7365]

This looks like lots of fun!!

[@ZeroWolfLuke]

"That's enough." Natives would understand that specific humor. 😂😂😂

[@Outdoorswithmike]

Enjoy the video and thank you for sharing and bringing us along 👋🏽👍🏽

[@PSapphireJ]

[@mokaata22]

Wow I seen someone talk about powwow on TikTok and my gosh I would love to attend one so beautiful 😊

[@grimwolfyzz6976]

As a native American I was glad that you liked it

[@auroradaniel7859]

Are pow wows normally a private event or are they public for the community to go to?

[@kateelizabeth316]

Anyone can go! I live 15 minutes away from a different one in Minnesota and love to go. I am not Native American but I love learning g about the culture since half of my community is Native. I do get called names though a lot by the teens since I am not a part of the culture but yes open to anyone

[@MyaBenway]

I’m not positive about every powwow but i know ours is open to the public & we LOVE when people come and want to learn more❤️

[@Josephinep9]

Most of them are private yes some are not but if you do go to our powwows remember to respect everyone and culture while you’re going

[@keithgraham8588]

@@Josephinep9 Most of them are public, I never even heard of a private pow wow.

Why do Natives have high cheekbones? Because they always pass out at the bar with their palms holding their heads up 😉💯🪶🪶

So funny seeing the "Razz Punchers" Here in the PNW there are coffee stands literally everywhere and they all sell flavored RedBulls with thousands of different flavor combos. I forget that it's not normal everywhere.
