The powwow was just fantastic! I could never have imagined how colorful and impressive this morning would be. The dances find the clothes, which were decorated with eagle feathers, attracted me.
I had heard about the powwow dancing in our culture class at Rice University, so I wanted very much to see what the Native Americans would look like in their traditional clothes.
The opening dance was scheduled to start at 7:30 a. m. Since I didn't want to miss any dances, I arrived there on time;however, the dancing began an hour late. How could I have forgotten that Native Americans have a different feeling for time, which I had learned in our class? I had intended to go back for my term survey paper as soon as the great one-and-a-half hour event was over!
First, they started to play music with their drums; it was accompanied by their low voices. “Hamma hamma…”. The music was exactly the same as I had heard in the movies.
Then, the Native Americans gradually changed their clothes; they wore their own extremely amazing clothes for the dances, with their hairstyles special and faces multicolored(多颜色的).
Finally, the competitions were started; the participants danced in different groups. They swung their arms and moved their feet in special steps, always to the beat of the music.
After one hour and a half of enthusiastically enjoying them, I took a walk along the food stands to eat some special Native American fried bread and other snacks. And I left that wonderful place for my hotel, having stayed two hours longer than I had first planned to stay.
I will never forget this wonderful morning that gave me a little view into the culture of Native Americans.
