PASSAGE Celebrating Powwows
Part 1
Pauwau is an Algonquin word that once referred to medicine men, who danced (1), during tribal ceremonies. However, Europeans whom witnessed (2) these ceremonies for the first time thought the word referred to the whole event and began (3) calling the events “powwows,” the term now used by most American Indians. These early ceremonies were held, by individual tribes (4) to cure disease or to ensure (5) success in battle or hunting. At modern-day powwows, people gather to dance, sing, socialize, and witness ceremonies honoring the achievements of individuals or groups.
