•Powwow of the Nonhuman, a Great Celebration of Indigenous Otherkind!•
•Many greetings to those who have laid their eyes upon these writings! I am very, very happy to announce a new community project I have been working on for the past month. Powwow of the Nonhuman is a digital celebration of indigenous peoples who identify as animals or non-human species! Those of us who are therians and otherkind who are indigenous have sadly been fragmented and unrepresnted in our respective communities. This event seeks to change that! We wish to celebrate the indigenous cultures, traditions, and ceremonies that some therians and otherkind are a part of!
<•>
•In my viewpoint, therians and otherkind who are both nonhuman identifying and indigenous have a special connection to the nature, medicine, and energy of our Mother Earth, Father Sky, and Great Creator. We have a connection to both the world of humanity and the world of the animal people and the plant people. We are essntially the animal and plant people living the human experience. We should embrace and love both our nonhuman experiences and our human culture.
<•>
•The powwow will be hosted digitally on the event's official website via the integrated video system. The powwow will consist of a pre-scheduled, refined and edited motion picture featuring individual and unique presentations of indigenous culture and otherkind experiences by our event presenters. There will be intermittent periods during panels and presentations where indigenous vendors can present their wares during the powwow. We are working on implementing a chat system on site so individuals who attend the powwow premier can interact and talk during the course of the event.
<•>
•Powwows are not only for indigenous peoples who originate from the continental Americas, we welcome all indigenous peoples from all areas of the world. This includes indigenous peoples with roots originating in Australia, Africa, Asia, The Middle East, and all island nations. All people of color are welcome to present at the powwow, whether they know where exactly their indigenous roots stem from or not.
<•>
•We need a few things to make this event happen. We need individuals who are capable of editing videos and audio since the powwow itself will be hosted on video and prescheduled. Editing a motion picture of this size will take a lot of effort, so we will need individuals who are committed to working on a project such as this. We need staff members to help with event organizing and planning. I will be doing much of the work, though I will not be able to run an event like this alone, I need some support from the indigenous community. Additionally, we need at least eight presenters for the event, not including staff members. Please help us to reach this minimum goal by boosting this post and spreading the word about the powwow!
<•>
•This event will cost my being hundreds of dollars to run and maintain. Please consider purchasing any of my artwork or anything from the powwow's official shop! Custom pieces like the one below, including the swirls and dots will cost around 65$ USD.
<•>
Important event dates-
•Event staff applications open-April 20th
•Powwow presenter applications open-April 20th
•Powwow vendor applications open-April 20th
•Powwow presenter applications close-October 20th
•Powwow vendor applications close-October 20th
•Powwow Premiers-December 20th
<•>
•Interested in participating in the powwow? Wish to be there during the premier of the event? Please refer to the information on the powwow's official website! If you have any questions about the powwow, please feel free to send a private messsge my way!

Thinking about when I attended a Powwow and (though I had to step out because I got overstimulated) I remember it being so damn cool. The dancers were incredible and all the clothing was beautiful, and the stands selling art and jewelry were so cool.
I still get excited when I see someone wearing a ribbon skirt.
I recommend all white people (esp north americans) make an effort to learn about indigenous cultures and ask to help/participate where you're allowed. Listen to indigenous storytellers, attend truth and reconciliation marches, go to indigenous-lead workshops, listen to indigenous music. GO TO INDIGENOUS RESTAURANTS. I'm so serious, indigenous art is so cool and important.
and never forget that being a non-indigenous (esp white) person comes with privilege, make sure you use that privilege to stand up for our indigenous neighbors.

Haint Tree - North Carolina.
Blue bottles hanging from a tree are an old protection against devils and evil spirits. It is said that the bottles will trap these supernatural pests whereby they will be burned up in the sunlight. A Haint tree in your yard can protect your home from unwanted supernatural guests.

Powwow Highway (1989) - Jonathan Wacks
- You tell everybody fairy stories.
- The stories of our ancestors. How they solved problems. Often the problems never change. Nor the people.
- Yeah, well it's just too bad those stories don't tell us how to keep our reservations from turning into sewers.
- But they do.
