It's clever! I wear an Eastern cloth regalia with side-seam leggings, so I rigged up a little string attachment on the top that goes right onto the shorts I wear under the wrap skirt. Works perfectly! Necessity is certainly the mother of invention.
you all probably dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
I’ve never competed myself and I’m 34 years old. I’m having regalia made but will most likely dance during intertribal to build up my dance style (Jingle) and get better. Maybe one day I’ll compete. :)
I’m also having regalia made and have never competed myself. I’m 34 and getting into this later in life lol. For now, I’ll just be dancing during intertribal to work on my dance style and footwork. Maybe one day I’ll compete.
Wish there was more vids like this very pretty lady I noticed no men ever post vids about there outfit it be nice if there was male version of this kind.
So beautiful your regalia and culture that's so pleasing to seeing the traditions being carried on by the next generation. Thank you so much for sharing from one native to another, and I mean that with all respect from Aotearoa, Māori.
I loveeeee the concho and scarf! I recently bought a scarf that I love and wanted to incorporate it on my upper body until I have time to do beadwork. I may take the idea of wrapping it around my neck and fastening it with a concho! 🙏🏽
It would be very nice of you if you would advise Visitors to PowWows Some of the (Do's and Don't's ) when attending as guest. I mean point out perhaps some things that we White People say or do to Dancers and Native Americans that may be frowned upon or looked upon as offencive or disrespectful.
Your just jealous cause a long time ago we enjoyed nature and white people came killing natives cause we had gold its just money y do u guys just care about money some people are poor
This is so cool!! Im working on a research for school about native communities, and my plan is to use this type of structure and organization that you guys have in the states and use it as an example for communities from here, I do live in Peru, and I've noticed that you guys are way more advanced on organization as a community. I would like to know If you could help me out with some ifnormation about it! Thank youu!!
Phew! That weather. I thought it was just us in the UK that had days like that! Excellent video, it really gives you an idea about the work and preparation that goes into staging the Powwow. One question, are the use of vivid colours a modern thing (particularly the neon yellows and oranges) or have regalia always been these colourful? Thanks.
It's a modern trend. Historically, we used nature to give us pigments and colors, so they were by and far on the side of muted, deep earth tones. Leather could be given many colors in the tanning stage, but they were still muted earth tones as well. As trade with colonizers grew, so did our fabrics, beads and colors.
Powwow tip: don’t wear Mocs in the rain, unless you have 2 pairs. If you only have 1 set just wear runners, no one will care if you’re wearing Mocs or not. I have 2 sets so for me it’s not an issue
Not a native: I have been getting a lot of native posts lately. Not complaining, I am fascinated. Just wondering if the is any significance to the girls' arm tattoos? I have noticed a lot of native women have them.
Mine are in the front I am a Jingle Dancer and I make 3 Jingle dresses a year for my self and I have 28 grandchildren outta all of them only 3 dance. I make all of there Regalia And i am way over 55 if that tells you how long I have been making dresses.
Hello my name is Jennifer Schmitz , I am from Germany . I have a question, why do you putting the fur on to the hair, ? if it's OK to ask ! Stay Healthy
Osiyo good luck dancing God bless you and your family and I'm a new subscriber. I tell everyone I love you my friends or friend. Hopefully you don't mind
😍😍😍 I heard that you can tell if a girl is single or married with her feather if true can you please explain Also heard that theres a certain way for men to braid there hair if single or married
jlnocal559 in some tribes, one braid means your single, 2 braids mean your married or with a companion, the teachings are somewhat different with feathers, nowadays people wear the amount of feathers they are either gifted or chosen to wear, it's entirely personal preference now, elders might say otherwise but that's when you need teachings to back yourself up on why you choose that way, elders have a full right to question your entire regalia if they so choose, it's all about respect is all
+runningbear gardner A GERL DANCER I KNEW A LONG TIME AGO. TOLD. IF UR MARRIED R N RELATIONSHIP.UR HAIR IS N A SINGLE BRAIDDWN D BAK. N IF SINGLE.U HAVE TWO BRAIDS. CUSS U BRAID UR OWN HAIR..FOR MEN I MEAN..
mine too!!!! i never heard (alwayse put zipper in the fronT) also she called her yoke a cape.... wth?? even on her dress it looks like zipper belongs in back lol she straigght up put every thing on backwards i feel like her yoke is on backwards too..... idk tho lol dress looks more traditional then fancy too
Teena Piotrowski when women’s fancy first started, women were wearing their buckskin dresses way before the modern dresses, the skirted cotton or satin dresses now are the contemporary, also women’s fancy didn’t have a shawl back then either, it’s weird to me how a lot of young native dancers I have met don’t know the original styles and outfits of some of the dances, I was taught by my elders that before you even touch a regalia, learn the history and meaning of the dance, I see nowadays with the younger dancers there’s a lot of “look at me look at me look at me”, but when questioned they have now idea, it’s up to the adults to teach so there aren’t any confusion of the category someone dances
I was adopted found out both my parents were Native American my fathers Anishinaabe Odawa Ojibwe and my mother we believe to be Hopi or Navajo her great grandmother was Native Indigenous from Jaliso Mexico Unfortunately because I'm 17.5% Indigenous but on 23%Me its 3rd highest % I feel like I finally have an answer. Unfortunately when I went to 2 Powwows because I was of 'Lower Quantum Dirty Blood' I was made fun of, called names and it was a bad experience despite the Sounds at the Powwows and I could feel it coursing in my veins and I felt closer to my Ancestors. Unfortunately because I'm of mixed blood I feel like an outsider, despite trying to learn and wanting to participate and do activities related to my Indigenous Ancestry. I found out I have half sisters who like me have no place to belong in terms of culture identity. Because we are 'mixed Indigenous with other' many like me hope to learn the languages of my ancestors and hope to keep the culture and traditions alive. Even if the community shuns us for be a small %.
My mom is 25% and my grandfather is an even higher quantum. I'm basically white and it's given me lots of insecurities about it. I grew up away from the reservation, but my grandfather grew up on it. My grandfather is way darker and experienced racism. But often folks mistook him for Italian. Italians tend to have darker skin tones that other Europeans so it makes sense. Basically, I'm just trying to say that race is a flimsy thing to base identity on. Our ancestors don't give a crap about it. They just want to see their cultural legacy live in through their children. Preserving physical looks and aspects can never be an authentic replacement for embracing the old wisdom and keeping the traditions alive. You can be 100% native, but if the knowledge of your family tree and culture is lost, its still a disappearance of Native American identity. I've started to do research and attempt beadwork in the style of my tribe as a way to heal my insecurities. Just live your truth and if your ancestors are calling you, listen. Natives just want to gatekeep the identity because of people who are "pretendians". But having a genuine connection to the identity even if you're majority another race doesn't make you pretending.
I've never met a native american making fun of a person dancing by the color of their skin or the native blood percentage. 75 % aren't even native dancing nowadays. I meet a few people from states away in the church groups and they admit the aren't even native just want to do it for fun. I don't know why they want to. But maybe they smile and you take it wrong? Many light skinned people do that. My kids feel like that but my elders smile and stare because they are proud. Not making fun of them.
I feel so dumb.. I never thought of adding string to the bottom of the leggings to keep them from spinning. I just let mine spin in circles lol 😄😄
It's clever! I wear an Eastern cloth regalia with side-seam leggings, so I rigged up a little string attachment on the top that goes right onto the shorts I wear under the wrap skirt. Works perfectly! Necessity is certainly the mother of invention.
lmao right!
Loretta 253 same I feel so dumb to I didn’t think of it to
Cool video! What tribe of Native are you? I'm Cherokee.
you all probably dont care but does anyone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
Thanks for this! Definitely helped. Still working on building the confidence to actually compete but excited to start pow wow dancing
I’ve never competed myself and I’m 34 years old. I’m having regalia made but will most likely dance during intertribal to build up my dance style (Jingle) and get better. Maybe one day I’ll compete. :)
This helps alot because my outfit is being made and im barely getting into it. So this is very help for when i 1st dancing thank you so much 😭❤💯
I’m also having regalia made and have never competed myself. I’m 34 and getting into this later in life lol. For now, I’ll just be dancing during intertribal to work on my dance style and footwork. Maybe one day I’ll compete.
I really admire people for keeping tradition alive and well thank you for that gods speed guys!!!
Wish there was more vids like this very pretty lady I noticed no men ever post vids about there outfit it be nice if there was male version of this kind.
Kainoa black eagle has lots
This is absolutely beautiful! The smile at the end reflected such pride. Thanks for sharing.
So beautiful your regalia and culture that's so pleasing to seeing the traditions being carried on by the next generation. Thank you so much for sharing from one native to another, and I mean that with all respect from Aotearoa, Māori.
Thank you for sharing. Keep sharing your knowledge. 👍👏👏👏❤️
I loveeeee the concho and scarf! I recently bought a scarf that I love and wanted to incorporate it on my upper body until I have time to do beadwork. I may take the idea of wrapping it around my neck and fastening it with a concho! 🙏🏽

It would be very nice of you if you would advise Visitors to PowWows Some of the (Do's and Don't's ) when attending as guest.
I mean point out perhaps some things that we White People say or do to Dancers and Native Americans that may be frowned upon or looked upon as offencive or disrespectful.
Don't cause trouble simple
Don't drink alcohol or do drugs when an elder tells you to do something do it
Your just jealous cause a long time ago we enjoyed nature and white people came killing natives cause we had gold its just money y do u guys just care about money some people are poor
BE RESPECTFUL. Stay in your area.
@@joyamongstforeverspark5422 Are there specific areas at a powwow that are no go areas? i.e. just for dancers and just for guests? :)
I love your vlogs. I started following you after seeing you on Raven Morgan's.
Very nice tutorial .!! Learn a lot . U look beautiful .!’
Beautiful!

I am on my way to making my jingle dress and had no clue that zippers go in the front! Thanks!
I love how you roll.. Duct tape and safty pens!lol❤

Hi Brittney I like your videos. Your cloths are awesome.🤗🤗🤗
And we use the window reflection to get ready...no mirrors needed. Chaaaaa!!!
Love seeing this I never entered a contest in the UK but was in a few grand entries but my outfit was traditionally and held on with leather thongs
Going to a powwow today with new regalia I just got yesterday!
This is a cool video and very educational.

You look beautiful!
Hi Britney. I enjoyed watching this video. With all that rain I began to wonder if you were in England!
Its so beautiful your dress aprecious your culture!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where did you get the conchosnfor your belt
Nice video!
You meant “Regalia”
“Outfit” works fine too. Just as long as it’s not referred to as a costume.
I'm so bummed out that Brittney deleted a bunch of her videos. I used to binge watch because it was so interesting to me.
Me too...
Your really pretty 😍😍😘❤❤
They explains a lot about the pin running through the eye holes of those furs you got there
lovely
Not a native: I have been getting a lot of native posts lately. Not complaining, I am fascinated. Just wondering if the is any significance to the girls' arm tattoos? I have noticed a lot of native women have them.
Beautiful
I have always had my zipper in the back😂
Cool
Right on 👍🏽
Thank you!:)
Is there anything beaded on your uniform, just curious?
AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH./MUSSI CHO BIG HUGS AND BLESSINGS.

Nice and thanks for sharing. I just made a film about the Julyamsh Pow Wow 2017. maybe your or there in it. your are welcome to watch
I was adopted found out both my parents were Native American my fathers Anishinaabe Odawa Ojibwe and my mother we believe to be Hopi or Navajo her great grandmother was Native Indigenous from Jaliso Mexico Unfortunately because I'm 17.5% Indigenous but on 23%Me its 3rd highest % I feel like I finally have an answer.

They made fun of you? Why...there should be no reason im pretty sure outsiders do pow wows
My mom is 25% and my grandfather is an even higher quantum. I'm basically white and it's given me lots of insecurities about it. I grew up away from the reservation, but my grandfather grew up on it.

Gigi, so sorry that you had a negative experience at the powwows. There is nothing wrong with being mixed. My background feels like United Nations.
I've never met a native american making fun of a person dancing by the color of their skin or the native blood percentage. 75 % aren't even native dancing nowadays. I meet a few people from states away in the church groups and they admit the aren't even native just want to do it for fun. I don't know why they want to. But maybe they smile and you take it wrong?

wh call a yoke a cape?
