Pow Wow

10^TH Annual Social Pow Wow

     March,10,2012, I went to the festival of Social Pow Wow at afternoon.

Then I could feel and think a lot of things using sence.  First, I felt smell.

  When I went into the gymnasium,  I smelt a smell that I have never smelt.  I saw the sourse of smell.  It`s like Japanese SENKOU.  Moreover, I focused on how to use it.  People gathered the smoke and poured it for themselves body.  I don`t know what did it mean, but I have seen like it in Japan.  In Japan, it is good for health.  We can often see in the temple.  I guess it is similar point between Japanese culture and Native American culture.  Second, I saw the unique dance and clothes hearing a strong, loud drum.  I could catch the image which they wanted to tell us.  It`s kind of bird.  I guess it`s an eagle.  However, I felt why its symbol is eagle, so I will try to resarch about it. I noticed that it`s also similar Japanese things.  In my hometown,  there is transmission entertainment (dance) like it.  It also uses bird (but maybe it`s chickin) clothes and drum. It`s very interesting.   Third, I felt a taste.  I ate a smoke salmon. It`s very tender and delicious.

In conclusion, I could know that there are some similar cultures between

Japanese culture and Native American culture.  And Pow Wow is important culture and tradition for people of a region in Salam, because a lot of people (from kids to old persons) participated it. I felt it is a good event.
