Now that Pow Wow season is here, how many of you go to them?  |
|
I have started setting up a table at some Pow wows to sell my Native American crafts. I put together dream catchers, chokers, necklaces,, ear rings, breast plates etc. I was wondering how many people here go to pow wows and if you buy any hand crafted materials form the Native Americans? Or do you just buy the cheapest artifacts that you can find?

oscarbartoni (1718) | 2 years ago | Yes, Lt's keep United States money in the United States where it belongs. Too many companies are "outsourcing" so that our money is not even in the United States any more. This is why (or at least one of the reasons) that we are in this recession that we are in now)If we keep going the way that we are going then we will be no better off than some of the third world countries where most of the people are dirt poor.

tdemex (2235) | 2 years ago | I used to go to pow-wows when I lived in Idaho, but haven't been to one in years, also black powder events were fun also, have you ever been to one of them,you and your goods might fit in there as well? I think the USA will turn into a third world country sooner than we think! Sorry to say. There'a a good article in newsweek.com about the comming $200 a barrel comming soon it's an eye opener! Good Luck! tdemex

2. creationsbyrobin (1813) | 2 years ago | I've never been to one either. But I would love to go. I live on the east coast and don't know of any around here. When we travelled to Arizona last spring, I was hoping to come across one, but didn't see anything advertised anywhere. I did see quite a few shops in Sedona offering authentic handcrafted Native American items and they were beautiful! I would have preferred to buy directly though, I'm sure the stores in Sedona were marking up the item at least 100% and I'd rather see the artist making the money... but there were so many beautiful pieces: ( Hopefully next spring, we'll return to the Tucson area and find a Pow Wow to attend. Best of luck to you during this Pow Wow season, I hope you do very well!!!

oscarbartoni (1718) | 2 years ago | I live in western "Taxachussetts" where there are pow wow almost every weekend some where around here. You can Google in Pow wows to try and find some pow wows nearby where you live. I go on http://store.wanderingbull.com/index.html to see where the upcoming pow wows are at. At the pow wows you can buy from the craft person direct (sometimes) and maybe even see them doing their crafts. I try to bring material to put my crafts together during the slow times.

3. svitanovic (120) | 2 years ago | Pow WOW. I would love to purchase any artifact made by the peaceful nature loving natives of this land. We do not go to pow wows we have small kids (but plan on it as they get older). I would love a dream catcher for my girls. Let me know if you are selling.

oscarbartoni (1718) | 2 years ago | There are all ages of people that go to the pow wows that I also go to. Thee is no age group and even young ones can learn something (even if it is the different colors that the people have as regalia). Yes I do sell buy I do not ship. This is why it is best to go to the pow wows so that you can see the items and perhaps talk to the artist/crafts person that put them together.

4. PamE53 (1539) | 2 years ago | We live in Va, and there are alot of Pow Wow's, I love attending them. Yes we do buy their handcrafted items. Not just the cheap artifacts. Most of the time they have a hugh Pow Wow at JamesTown. Many tribes attend. The dancing is awesome. I just love sitting and listening to the music and watching them.

5. ryzach (1186) | 2 years ago | I have had many people tell me how great the POW WOW is. I have never been. I will have to check it out.

oscarbartoni (1718) | 2 years ago | The pow wows that I attend have what is known as trade blankets. That is when it is your turn, you can put something on the blanket and then other people will put something on the blanket (if they wist). If there is something that you want, you can trade with that person or if you think that your item is worth more, you can say "sweeten the pot", if you then think that it is a good trade you will exchange items and shake hands and say "Good trade". Or you can decline and say " No trade".It is amazing what might go on the trade blanket. Check with your pow wow to see if it is open to the public or not and any rules that they might have.
