People who email requests too late.

Someone emailed a request to find out about Pow Wows in our area. The last one that I know about was last month in September. That's a question you ask in early spring, not now. You really want me to tell you about all the pow wows you missed? That will just make you feel bad. When you type pow wow calendar or pow wow schedule, you get many pow wows for many Native Americans. But if you want the ones for our area, you have to type Akwesasne Pow Wow, Kahnawake Pow Wow, and Abenaki Pow Wow. That will give you one in Northwestern NY, one close to us in Canada, and one in Vermont but that last one could be in other places, too. So I told her how to research it. Then I reserched it to make sure that would work and it did. I was surprised about the youtube clips that came up. They were short, but I think were enough to interest someone in going. So have you ever had someone who requested information too late? Have you ever been to a Pow Wow? I went to a boy scout version of one and Kahnawake in Canada one. But I didn't get to stay. The person I went with had to get back and feed her husband. So I drove there and back longer than I was there. We were there like 3/4 of an hour and it took forever to get there and to get back. Then people wonder why I like going places by myself. About 2 hours to get there and that to get back mostly because of traffic and with going to the bathroom and getting something to drink we saw about as much as you can on a youtube few minutes. Geesh.Her husband is a big boy, he could have opened a can. Are there people you don't like going places with?

I would sure enjoy going to a pow wow but never have been able to. I wonder if people knew what part of the years these events happened if they wouldn't be more apt to ask at a more appropritate time. And maybe they meant for the next year. There are several here in Idaho that I know of.

I so hope that you get to go to one. I think you would enjoy it a lot. I think people get so busy during the summer that they remember to ask after the summer is gone or maybe the person is asking for the next year.

A friend of mine brought her Mother. Maybe someone in your family can figure out a way and get some money. You never know.

I think you are right. Ya, I would love to go to one but have no way and no money. Kind of limits a person.

Oh my,before I even got to the lower part of your discussion I was saying....What? 2 hours up and 2 hours back to stay a whole 45 minutes! So she she could go home to feed that big baby! Doesn't she know how to stand up for herself? When my husband was alive,whenever I would tell him that I was going somewhere,even if it was just 10 minutes away,he would tell me to take my time for me and whoever I was with to have fun and eat out,he would fix something for himself and our young daughter(under 7)and my teenage son if he were around. He would of laughed and shook his head if he were alive and I told him this. And to answer your questions,yes to both.I LOVE doing research and going to pow wows.i have not been to one in a while.For some reason there has not been a lot of them around here the past couple of years.I am part Cherokee and proud of it!Genealogy is my number one hobby,which is a lot of research.And I love doing other researching as well.Even if someone ask's me a simple question and I cannot think of the answer then I will jump right on the computer till I find the answer,LOL

I said to her, "Can't he feed himself, he's in his 50s." "Well I don't work outside the home and he does. So I feel obligated." My car started overheating, I could have brained her. My husband is like yours. Go have a good time. I spend entire days at events. Maybe the Pow Wows didn't make enough money or the coordinators are too busy or no one has time to coordinate. There are many possibilities.

You must enjoy the geneology esp. where there are different cultures on one family tree.

i also get annoyed if they keep delaying and the time taken to respond is not best either and it keeps me thinking why do they are thinking for so long and what is the need to take so much long

Yes, it does make you wonder. But unless they're online for a living, I guess we need to be patient, probably other things going on in their lives. Thanks and take care.
