I've seen that a lot this past summer. Saw dancers walk off and still win. Like you said, tho. That's how it is with specials.

@@sugarshanewebster that's just how it is with most pow wows

Excuse me??? Sorry brother Shane to hop on your comments like this….but to the shit talked above….don’t you ever think you can disrespect my son and I’m not going to say something about it. Get your ass out there & out dance him then since you can do so much talking behind a screen.

@@valerieparker6410 nobody said anything disrespectful to or about your son. Having an opinion about another dancer being better, disrespectful it's an observation and an opinion. Also being in the pow wow scene knowing how people judge, and knowing that having a family name or being well known goes a long way with who they pick as a winner. You can be upset about that but that's just how it is at powwows

Your words with “😂😂” too follow as if you were telling some kind of joke…..”I don’t think he should have won……he probably won because of who his mom is”….as if my son rides off my coast tails. He’s made a name of his own on his own & among all of the dancers is well respected. Peoples ugly opinions is what makes ugliness in the circle for dancers. I’ve been in that circle and had my day good & bad…my son too. We don’t expect a win every time we step into that circle but we do expect to do our best and that’s what will be displayed no matter your opinion is of the outcome. He actually did quite well considering he didn’t get a rest in between like the others. He also did quite well considering he went to this pw an alcohol last year. Him & I dancing together was a celebratory moment for me as he accomplished a lot. That’s also his little brother he danced off with. That was a win win to have to champion dancers out there going head to head. Know the dance before you comment.
