Many Indigenous people do not have access to powwow culture. On deannehupfield.com, our Virtual Regalia Making Courses teach students step by step how to design, cut and sew their own regalia. By making a regalia and joining the powwow circle Indigenous students can reconnect to a culture that was taken from them.

Your channel is my first stepping stone in a long journey ahead; I just got back from powwow this weekend and have decided it's finally time I begin to dance. Hayu masi ❤
Im mixed and I never learned about my culture. I discovered im two spirit and have always loved fancy shawl dancing. Thank you so much you have no clue how much your page means to me❤❤❤
Almost every student in my class is a pow wow dancer and I really love watching pow wow’s with my friends I really would like to be a powwow dancer this is why I go to powwows so I can learn how to dance fancy
Thanks 🙏 I did performing arts dance at college and try and do the rain dance but do not know that. Could you do the rain dance please. God bless you. Keep culture alive through word and story or dance it is the best way to preserve culture. 😊
is there a particular order or time for any of these, the way Hula in Hawai'i is all based around telling a story and the dances have to fit the lyrics/plot? or are powwow dancers just going to the beat using choreography/freestyle combinations? I've never been able to figure out one way or another how the full dances are performed but I'd love to learn them!!
Osda - lovely tutorial! I learned to sew work my mom Lois, and she helped me make or altar patterns. We're getting green shirts for drum circle events - now I want to make a ribbon skirt to wear with it!
Thank you for all of your videos and I feel so inspired in my own dance journey. I am dancer. It's similar style it's shuffling and I feel like I finally understand why I'm drawn to dance with the intentions I put into them. Your words really resonated with me.
OMG I didnt know that native dancing had so many different steps. Ive gone to pow wows and the dancers make it seem so easy. I am fascinated by Native American culture. I understand fully your, and your people's pain. And i admire and respect your brave and resilient spirit. Keep strong. Keep brave.
I was always grown believing that I was just a darker Italian woman and that I had Italian, polish, etc, but I never looked like them. When I met people from my tribe and my history, I felt at home to see that I fit in among them. Thank you for sharing this and allowing me to see who I am 🫶🏼
I love ur videos ur the one who showed me how to fancy shalw and one time i got royalty and i wanna say ty to. U ur the. One that made me more excited and confident and ty for every thi g u show
Taiguey! Im a member of the Taino nation and I was just had a question about powwows. Would I be allowed to wear the regalia of the northern tribes as well as dance the dances if I have a relationship with the tribe, know the dances, and know the songs?
I love Pow Wow's they lift my spirit even though I'm Scottish I am truly sorry and ashamed of colonisation and I understand we were colonised over here first. Chi Miigwetch for your teachings Sacred Sister may you always be guided and protected by Great Spirit...and so naturally much love and respect from my being to yours. Aho
