In this episode we take some time to jump around in our thoughts about a number important topic. We start the discussion by introducing the topic and issues of outsiders living in and around Indian County while enjoining in some of our cultural practicers. This brief discussion leads us in to an in depth conversation about original style powwow singing. In this discussion we take the time to provide some auditory examples of singing styes through a few different eras while pointing our nuanced differences. These examples provide a backdrop to further discussions on rules imposed by Tribal nations for their modern contest powwows. The concept of sovereignty and the importance of the witness are discussed. The conversation circles back to "that one White Guy" on the Rez while building up to the forthcoming next episode where this phenomenon will be discussed further.
