Please do not touch the regalia.\n Appropriate dress and behaviours are required in the dance area.\n Take good care of your children.\n Do not hold children while dancing in the dance area — the child may be construed as a gift to the Creator.\n Do not run around the dance area.

Do not sit on someone else’s chair unless you have permission.\n Have fun\, ask questions and meet people!\nEvent details\n Emcee: Meeg Snake\n Veteran: Morris McKenzie\n Elders: Randall Smoke & Nora Sawyer\n Host Drum: Crazy Spirit\n Co-Host Drum: Smoke Trail Singers\n Invited Drum: Zhoomin Aanday Manido\, Animkii Benaesi Daywaygun\n Arena Director: Bruce Smoke\n Head Dancers: Rageous Oshki-Giizhig Kwe & Shane Davey\n Firekeeper: Timothy Smoke\n Sunrise: Kathy MacLeod-Beaver\n\nFor more information about the Pow Wow\, visit the Alderville First Nation website.\n\n Pow Wow Glossary Terms\n Arbour: Central area of the Pow wow grounds where the drums and singers are situated.\n Beadwork: The beautiful designs created by sewing beads onto a particular piece of regalia. Beads were originally made from conch shells.\n Breastplate: Made from thin hollowed-out bones or long beads which are strung together to cover the dancer’s chest from the shoulders down to waist or knees.\n Bustles: Made from feathers which are arranged together in a radial manner. They were originally worn by only a few honoured men\, but now they are usually worn by men’s traditional and fancy feather dancers. Fancy Feather dancers use turkey\, hawk or Eagle feathers\, while men’s traditional dancers almost always use Eagle feathers.\n Contests: A competition for prizes and recognition against other dancers. Dance styles and age determine the categories of competition. Age groups usually are tiny tots\, 0-5; little boys and girls\, 5-12; junior boys and girls\, 12-16; and seniors\, 16-plus. Depending on the pow-wow and the category\, prizes may reach $1\,500.\n Giveaways: A universal custom among the peoples of Turtle Island. Turtle Island societies believe that a person who is being honoured should provide gifts to other members of the society. Giveaways are appropriate for the big events in a person’s life\, such as being the head dancer or entering the Giveaways by people being honoured or in honour of someone else are common at pow wows.\n Grand Entry: The parade of dancers which opens each pow-wow session. The Eagle Staffs are carried carried by Veterans. The head dancers\, along with any princesses or princes in attendance\, and invited dignitaries are next in order. The men’s dancers follow next\, then the women’s dancers\, then the junior boys and junior girls\, with the little boys and girls last. After the Grand Entry\, there is a Flag Song and then a prayer by an Elder in his/her language. The Eagle Staffs and the flags are then placed by the arbour.\n Honour songs: Requested to honour a person for almost any reason\, including a deceased person. People are requested to stand during honour songs.\n Inter-Tribals: Songs which belong to no particular nation. Most inter-tribals are sung with vocables instead of words. They have become very popular because anyone can dance to these songs\, which results in more people dancing.\n Roach: Type of headdress made from porcupine and deer hair. These are usually several rows of hair tied to a woven base\, which allows the hair to stand up and move gracefully as the dancer moves. It is attached by a roach pin to a braid of hair or to strings tied around the head. Longer roaches are now in style\, varying from 18 to 22 inches in length. Two feathers are usually attached to the roach.\n Round Dance: Usually held at the beginning of a pow-wow session. The dancers form a large circle in the dance area\, with each dance style remaining together. A song is sung with a heavy 1-2-1 pattern and the dancers move laterally around the dance area. The faster styles dance closer to the arbour\, and the slower styles dance farther away. Round dances are usually sung in sets of three or four songs.\n Two-Step: The head men’s dancer and the head women’s dancer dance together and lead a long string of paired dancers. The women usually ask the men to dance\, and the men must dance when asked. The two-step can become very intricate\, with the pairs splitting apart for a time and then rejoining later. People usually end up laughing as they do the two-step.
