Tribal gathering rich with culture

Karina Guzzi | May 2

by Karina Guzzi Daily Lobo Andre Picard has been attending the Gathering of Nations powwow since 1996. This year he came with nine of his family members, including 15-month-old William. "We came down in two cars," he said. As dancers from all over the United States and Canada filled the court during the Grand Entry, one proudly held up the red eagle staff. "It represents all our tribes and nations," said Picard, who belongs to the Nez Perce tribe from Idaho. "Red is a powerful color for many tribes." The Gathering of Nations is an annual event featuring a powwow, a Miss Indian World pageant and a trader's market. Thousands of people attended this year's gathering. Picard said some people make a living competing in powwows, but his family participates for fun. He said a lot of politics are involved when it comes to choosing the winner for the dance competitions. "Sometimes they'll win because everybody knows him or because he's a nice guy," Picard said. "That lady is dancing really well. She has nice clothes, but this one has a bigger name, so the judges will pick her."
