[scarletghoul]

Pretty cool, looks like a fun dance

[Communist Theory]

You hold hands with a member of the opposite sex and go around in the drums(very fun)you gotta follow the head dancers.
its like a simon sez with dancing you gotta do what the head dancers do.
Also you sing a round dance song to win the heart of a girl you like. once in awhile a girl will sing one to a guy.

[Communist Theory]

Round dance song on a big drum. This is usually the kind they do the round dance around.

I always wondered what a round-dance version of The Internationale would sound like.

[Pirate turtle the 11th]

:rolleyes:

[Communist Theory]

It wouldn't work.

[Communist Theory]

And you probally wouldn't get the girl.

[Martin Blank]

And you probally wouldn't get the girl.

Depends on the girl. My wife, who is Lakotah, would have been damn impressed (mostly that I could keep the time, but anyway... ;) ).

I know, sounds silly, but still...

[Communist Theory]

It's spelled Lakota idk looks like you had an accidental typo. So are you from Detroit?

[Martin Blank]

It's spelled Lakota idk looks like you had an accidental typo.

I've been in the habit of using the spelling that the Republic of Lakotah people use (e.g., www.republicoflakotah.com).


So are you from Detroit?

Not originally, but it's where we live now. I grew up north of here.

[Communist Theory]

Hmm interesting I never knew it was spelled that way. My best friend is Lakota Sioux. Also you're my neighbor I'm from Wisconsin.

[Martin Blank]

I think the different spelling is meant as a kind of self-determination of how the language is transliterated into the Latin alphabet.

Yes, we are neighbors. And if you're ever gonna be in the area, let me know. We'll have frybread and stew waiting for you. :cool:

[Communist Theory]

Awesome, I think my drum group may be going to a pow-wow in Michigan this year. I still gotta ask.

[Communist Theory]

Quite far away from Detroit though I'm afraid.

[Martin Blank]

Quite far away from Detroit though I'm afraid.

Yeah. Usually the events are around the Cadillac area, or no farther south than the "Chippewa" rez outside St. Charles. That's at least a three hour drive from here.

[Communist Theory]

Yeah the one my drum is supposed to go to is in Manistique it looks like it right on the tip of Lake Michigan.
