Pihewisimowin (The Prairie Chicken Dance Ceremony)
This is a very old dance still practiced by our people who live in the Battleford area. The ceremony is held in a long lodge, and begins with a special form of prayer known as the Pipe Ceremony. Following the ceremony, the man who pledges the dance, begins by singing his songs to the accompaniment of a rattle, while the others follow his lead.

The History Of Crooked Lake Agency Singer
The main reason Crooked Lake Agency drum group receives so many invitations to host powwows, grand openings, and international events, is not because of their high pitched, high-powered voices, or fancy, faddish word songs. It is because of their good old-style sound, and steady beat!

Planning A Good Celebration
Anyone who has been to a powwow lately, can agree that when hearing this, there is a feeling of excitement in the air. For spectators, singers and dancers, this feeling is pure energy. It fills the air, and welcomes all to the powwow. This is the feeling every powwow committee longs for, in their celebration. Having said this, consider how much work goes into planning a powwow.

Life On The Trail
These are the most frequently heard words of family members following the powwow circuit during the summer months. Suddenly it is already Thursday and everything you planned to do during the week now has to be done in a couple of hours: fix the blow outs; iron the scarves; and untangle the yarn of the freshly washed grass dance outfit.
