Native American celebration in Miller County
Pow Wow is the Native American people’s way of meeting together to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships and making new ones. It is a time to renew the culture and preserve a rich heritage of American Indians.
This weekend the lake area’s only pow wow will be held in Eldon as Native Americans gather for a weekend of celebration. The 11th annual Osage River Pow Wow sponsored by the Circle of the Red Road will be at the Miller County Fairgrounds.
The pow wow is a celebration of life and an intertribal gathering. It is also a great educational experience. Throughout the event, the public can ask questions to learn more about traditions and the symbolism of the various tribes.
Dancing is the main attraction at the pow wow, accompanied by singing. It’s also a family reunion because everyone there is extended family.
Members of the Omaha, Kiowa, Cherokee, Cheyenne, Apache, Powhattan, Osage and other tribes are expected to attend, as well as Larry Sellers, an Osage Indian who played Cloud Dancing on the CBS series “Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman.” Sellers will greet guests, sign autographs and offer his custom-made T-shirts, dream catchers and medicine wheels.
The central focus of the pow wow is the enormous drum set in the center of a 90-foot circle, known as the arena, drawn on the fairgrounds field. One of the most important things in the life of a Native American is the drum. It brings the heartbeat of Mother Earth to the pow wow for all to feel and hear.
The public is welcome to bring lawn chairs and sit around the circle to watch the variety of dances, like the Blanket Dance, Gourd Dance, Crow Hop, Two Step and Round Dance. The impressive Grand Entry, a parade of flag-carrying participants in full regalia, will be held each day.
Traders booths will be open throughout the event. This popular shopping area will feature hand-made beadwork, fans, dream catchers, pottery, decorative gourds, wood boxes, bone and horn art, horse tack, t-shirts, walking sticks, books and CDs, silver jewelry, pelts, leather goods, carvings and craft supplies.
A perennial favorite snack, Indian fry bread, also will be available.
Traders featuring food and crafts will sell goods around the grounds. In years past you could purchase fry bread, ceramic pottery, cedar boxes, dream catchers, art, clothing, wood carvings and other merchandise.
The festival will include music, dancing and ceremonial activities that celebrate the Native American way of life.

Wood Carve an Indian Walking Stick | Sticks

I like your work. Hope you don’t mind just a touch of advice. What you are showing here is the result of each step. Not the actual strepin progress. To a student, such as myself, it would be far more useful to see the tool being used. How it is held, the angle it is being used at for various cuts, which tool is used on which cuts. You do a good job of stating what the steps are and showing the result of each step but the most important part for the student would be the actual step in progress.
