Learning More About Native American Regalia

By Gregory Sanders


The first thing that you'll want to know is that this is the type of thing that is normally only worn during specific ceremonies and exhibitions of dance. You won't expect to see people of this culture wearing it for everyday things like going to the store or walking the dog. When you do go to a wachipi, also known as a pow wow, you might be dazzled by all of the native american regalia that the dancers and others there are adorned with.

This is something that is great to find out more information about by checking online. There are so many new terms that you will be looking at that everything is much more comprehensible when you can quickly search through all the text and look up definitions for things. You will probably also be able to find videos of people actually wearing this sort of thing and dancing, which will make it a lot easier to understand what it all means and how it is supposed to look when it is "in action" so to speak.

If you have a lot of friends who are Natives, you might have a lot of luck if you simply talk to them about this sort of thing. They might have all kinds of information that you never even would have thought if. The great thing about talking to your friends about it is that people usually feel very comfortable with their friends, so they don't have to worry about being judged.

The best people to talk to about this sort of thing are your elders. The reason why they can be so helpful is that they have actually been through a lot of experiences. All you have to do is be patient and be willing to sit and listen.

When you are born into a certain culture, it is only natural to want to get to know it and really identify with it. Getting to know these kinds of pieces is a great way to immerse yourself in the ways of these people. The next step is to put it on and dance with it.

People who dance with these ceremonial articles on are combining tradition with their own style. In this way, everyone does their dance and their ceremonial clothes a little bit differently. You will find that no two regalias look exactly the same. It is interesting to see all of the artistic choices.

A common trend is for this type of thing to be extremely elaborate. It will be hard to miss the dancers when they're wearing this. The big reason for this is because the dancers and other people involved in the ceremony are trying their best to express many things, including their culture, the forces of nature, the spirits of their elders, and so much more with every subtle feather and fur placement and every movement of their dances, so it is very important that they make the right things stand out.

You can often see certain similarities between the ceremonial clothes of certain families. They tend to show their familial ties in this way. It is interesting to see the variations that the new generation comes up with.
