US-NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS-POWWOW
Native American Louie Paul from Arlene, Montana, and Laurel, Maryland, representing the Flathead Tribe, does the "Chicken Dance" with a small mirror in his hand inside the new National Museum of the American Indian during a Powwow Social 11 August 2005 in Washington, DC. The mirrors were used by their warriors to send signals years ago and are represented in their dance. Representatives from many of America-s Native American tribes are in town for the 2005 National Powwow opening 12 August 2005 at the MCI Center in Washington, DC. Powwows are social gatherings of hundreds of Native Americans who follow traditional dances started centuries ago by their ancestors, which continually evolve to include contemporary aspects. Usually held between April and October, these events of drum music and dance are attended by Natives and non-Natives, all of whom join in the dancing and take advantage of the opportunity to see old friends and teach the traditional ways to a younger generation.
