Our Tribal family is extended today by the presence of members of communities near and far.

Morongo Thunder and Lightning Pow Wow
There are no “spectators” at a Powwow. All who attend are regarded as participants. Each of Us has a place in the circle of people. Within this circle there is no beginning and no end. This coming together is at the heart of the traditional Powwow.
Historically, singing and dancing have always been an integral focus at Pow Wows. Competitive singing and dancing for prize money is a fairly recent development. Only registered participants can participate in the dancing contest, but when an “inter-tribal” dance is announced, everyone, including visitors, can take part.
Morongo Thunder and Lightning Pow Wow was named the number 1# contest Powwow in 2009 from viewers at Powwow.com. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience both Native American culture and Morongo Hospitality. We hope you will enjoy every moment of the festivities.

CAHUILLA BIRD SONGS AND DANCES
In addition to the intertribal powwow style dancing and contest dancing that is much like you would see at any powwow from coast to coast, the Morongo Thunder and Lightning Pow Wow also feature Bird Songs and Dances that are traditional to them.
The bird songs and dances of the Cahuilla Indians chronicle the experiences and responses of the Cahuilla people as they migrated south. Through bird metaphor and allegory, the songs also act as lessons that instruct tribal members about stages in their lives. They are reminded that there is a proper time to “leave the nest” and start a family; that parents must let go of their maturing children.

The original Cahuilla Bird Songs were composed of more than 300 pieces that formed a cycle of stories. Songs were sung in a precise order that accurately accounted for the chronology of the migration. In a traditional setting where the complete cycle of songs were sung, the singing began at dusk symbolizing the beginning of the journey and ended at dawn – symbolic of the return home.
Protocol for singing these songs is less strict in structure than some Native American traditions where only specially designated individuals are allowed to perform certain ceremonies. Today, tribal descendants with singing talent are trained to sing the songs. Unlike many Native American dances, bird songs use no drums for accompaniment. Rhythm is supplied by gourd or tortoise-shell rattles filled with palm seeds.

Rate This Event

Everyone is welcome at the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Powwow on September 27-29, 2019 at Medicine Lodge City Park in Medicine Lodge, Kansas. Seating is set up around the area where the intertribal dancing is to take place is for the dancers, not the spectators, so bring your own lawn chairs. It is good to ask before taking a picture out of respect for those who may have religious reasons for avoiding photos. No one should ever enter the dance arena unless invited. Do not touch the clothing of any dancer. A good rule of thumb is to wait for the reaction of the Native onlookers. If they clap, then everyone claps. Most of the time the emcee will tell the audience what is going on and what to do.

Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Powwow
Attending a powwow gives spectators the opportunity to glance into the history of Native Americans, a glimpse of a centuries-old tradition and a chance to gaze upon the beauty of their regalia while listening to the rhythmic beat of their drums and their voices lifted in song.
Food vendors will also be on-site at the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Powwow providing the always popular Indian tacos and fry bread. There will be craft vendors selling a wide selection of Native items including shirts, jewelry, wooden crafts, rugs, wall decorations and Native items for children.

About the Powwow
Dances and the ceremonies with which they are associated played an integral part in the lifestyle of the Native American. A dance was held to ask for aid from the gods before a battle or a hunt. A dance was also held to celebrate joy or to mark a mourning. Dances, or powwows as they are now called, are still important occasions for the American Indian. It is an occasion for making new friends and enjoying old friendships. There are not many activities where a great-grandparent and great-grandchild may participate in the same activity as they may at a powwow.
The word powwow is derived from the Algonquian term pau-wau, or pauau, which referred to a gathering of medicine men or spiritual leaders. European explorers who observed these gatherings pronounced the word wrong and passed on the wrong pronunciation to the Indians when they began learning English.
The history of powwows is sketchy as there was a period of time when the gatherings were illegal under the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The modern-day powwow gives Native Americans an occasion to meet, dance, sing, socialize, honor their Native American culture and share their traditions with non-Indians.
Planning an event like the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Powwow can take months. If a powwow or celebration is publicized, it is open to the public. Sometimes, it may be open to the public but there is a charge. In that case, it becomes more of an exhibition display.

Powwow Dances
The Gourd Dance, which is performed at many powwows, including the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Powwow, originated in the 1800s among the Cheyenne, Arapahoe, Kiowa and Comanche tribes. The Gourd Clan, formerly a warriors’ society, now may include any member of the tribe. The members of the different gourd clans and clubs can be veterans themselves or are representatives of veterans. The red on the blanket which is worn by the dancers represents the blood which was shed by warriors and the blue on the blanket represents victory.
The Snake Dance is rich in symbolism. It was thought that because the snake lived so close to the ground he understood the problems of the soil and its need for water. The Indians performed the dance to the snake so he might take a message to the gods to send rain to the plants. The dances portray the snake coiling, striking, retreating and returning to strike again.
Other dances that you will see at the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty Powwow, as well as many other powwows, includes the Round Dance, Buffalo Dance, War Dance and the Flag Dance, a dance that nearly every Indian tribe has composed in recent years to honor the men and women who have served in all branches of the armed forces during the various wars. This song is the Indian equivalent of the national anthem, and all should stand when this song is sung.

About Dancing in the Square Powwow
“Dancing in the Square” – The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) American Indian Day celebration was held in 2006 for the first time to signify the Indian Health Care Improvement Act (IHCIA), which at the time was making its way through Congress. The [general public] lacks the awareness about the health status and issues that Indian people face. To educate the general public about our Indian health issues, NPAIHB started holding a “powwow,” a traditional way to communicate our culture and Indian Health education. We provide the public with information on many cultural issues that influence the delivery of health care. We ask other Portland Area Tribal organization such as the Native American Rehabilitation Association- (NARA), Native American Youth Association – (NAYA), and the Native Indian Child Welfare Association – (NICWA) to collaborate with our event. All of the Indian organizations contribute in various ways, through providing speakers, resource materials, or event awareness, and equipment, as needed.

Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster

2019 Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster

Rate This Event

Join us for the Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster on September 28, 2019 at historic Longfellow’s Wayside Inn in Sudbury, Massachusetts for a full day of music, muskets, history, and fun. The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster opens at 10:00 am with a Colonial encampment, militia and crafts demonstrations, and contradancing. We expect dozens of colonial and craft vendors and 25 fife and drum corps.

Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster
Participation in the fife and drum muster is sought after by companies throughout the northeast. These groups include the host Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie, local groups including the Middlesex County Volunteers, William Diamond Jr. Fife and Drum Corps, Middlesex 4-H Fife and Drum Corps, Lincoln Minutemen, Stow Minutemen and Regimental Music of Saintonge and other groups.
The grand parade of fifes and drums will begin at noon and will be followed directly by a performance by each of the corps attending. The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster is a celebration rather than a competition. The corps appear by invitation, and attend to share their music and friendship with other Fife & Drum Corps.
In the days preceding the Revolutionary War, militia would usually muster to drill twice each year, once in the spring and the other in the fall. Following their drill, the militia would be joined by their families and celebrate with good food and drink, music and games.
Admission & Hours
Admission: $2 (donation) for adults in contemporary dress
Hours: 11:30 pm – 5:00 pm
A Day at The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster
The Sudbury Companies of Militia & Minute and the Sudbury Ancient Fyfe and Drum Companie host this full day of Revolutionary War era living history. The militia will execute its manual of arms. Then contra dancers will entertain the morning crowd in the main muster field. Soon after that, the Sudbury militia will call for an assembly, the town crier announce that the town of Sudbury had formed a local militia and then introduce the newly elected officers of the Sudbury Companies. Shortly after the colonel begins drilling his militia, British Regulars will arrive to arrest the newly installed colonel. The militia watch as their colonel is put in stocks and later taken away. They then pursue the Redcoats and exchange musket fire along the service road. When the musket fire ends, the Redcoats surrender.

Day at The Sudbury Colonial Faire and Fife & Drum Muster
Fifes and drums will then be heard in the distance as they assemble for their parade from the Grist Mill to the muster field. After the parade, each fife and drum company returns to play a stand piece. Throughout the day, militia and regiments can be seen and visited in their encampments. Living history demonstrations will include a blacksmith, tinsmith, potters, bakers and ladies working a kitchen. Vendors and sutlers will be selling their wares to participant and specators alike.

About the Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center
The Council of Three Rivers American Indian Center was initially conceived in 1969. Members of two Native American families in Pittsburgh sought to overcome the feeling of “floating” in the mainstream. They felt the need to maintain a sense of Indian-ness, recapture roots and become more conscious of their rights as Native Americans. In February 1972, after several years of planning, the Council was incorporated as a non-profit organization under the laws of Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Council was to operate from offices in the Homewood section of Pittsburgh until July, 1976 when it moved to its present headquarters in Dorseyville, Pennsylvania.

About The Siege of Boonesborough
The 1778 Siege of Fort Boonesborough Reenactment relives the actual Siege of Boonesborough that took place in September 1778 during the American Revolutionary War. The attack on the Kentucky settlement of Boonesborough was led by Chief Blackfish, a Shawnee leader allied to the British. Months before the battle, Blackfish had captured and adopted Daniel Boone, the founder of Boonesborough. Boone escaped the Shawnees in time to lead the defense of the settlement. Blackfish’s siege was unsuccessful and was lifted after ten days. Boone was then court-martialed by fellow officers who suspected him of having British sympathies. Boone was acquitted, but he soon moved away from Boonesborough.
About Fort Boonesborough
Richard Henderson, founder of the Transylvania Company in 1775, chose Daniel Boone to head a party of 31 axe men to clear a path through the Cumberland Gap that would run from Long Island of the Holston River, Tennessee, to Otter Creek of the Kentucky River. Blazing the trail presented extraordinary difficulties – the route through the wilderness was a hunter’s trace that was too narrow for a wagon. The task was to combine The task was to combine many trails into one continuous route by clearing underbrush and overhanging foliage. When Daniel Boone and his men reached the Kentucky River on April 1, 1775, they quickly moved to establish Kentucky?s second settlement–the site still known as Fort Boonesborough.

About Plainsmen Black Powder Club
The Plainsmen Black Powder Club started in 1972 with a small group of men who had a passion for muzzle-loading guns and the ways of the past. We try to portray the ways of the mountain men. Some call it “living history”. Today, the club is more family-oriented by dressing the parts of the past at rendezvous throughout the US. We dress anywhere from the 1750s to 1840s. At rendezvous we have shooting competitions, trail walks, tomahawk and knife throws, women’s and children’s games. We can also be found just sitting and enjoying the peace and quiet.
