Pow Wow’s a Native American celebration

Pow Wow’s a Native American celebration

On December 9th the Los Angeles Native American Indian Commission hosted it’s 2nd annual Pow Wow in downtown Los Angeles. Pow Wow’s are a beautiful way that Native Americans come together in community and celebration. This tradition goes back many, many years. It is such a beautiful experience with the drumming which to me represents the heart beat of Mother Earth.

Modern day Pow Wows are a blend of various tribes and Native People. The community dances around the arena in a way which has been passed down by the ancestors. Dance competitions are a part of the fun. There are Many different types of dances including Hoop Dance & Fancy Dance. My favorite has always been Fancy Dance.

This time I got to meet “Supaman” a Native American hip-hop artist from Crow Nation in Montana. He carries a positive message and has received many awards for his work.

I was deeply touched that the Pow Wow was in front of Los Angeles City Hall where I used to work. For me personally it brought together both of my worlds.

If you have never attended a Pow Wow you can go to www.PowWows.com and get information.

See what Jack Canfield said about Cynthia
“Cynthia Ruiz is one of the most well-informed, deeply wise, kind-hearted, and articulate people I have ever met. It was a pure joy interviewing her for my television show Talking About Success. Her ability to share the wisdom she has gained from both her experience as a member of the Cherokee Nation coupled with her years in major leadership roles in government, has given her the ability to profoundly impact an audience. The principles of effective leadership that she has drawn from both of those experiences are right on target and so deeply needed at this time in our history.” Jack Canfield
