After aimless hours of surfing numerous internet sites, I can finally say I have found three interesting pieces of information that I am anxious to share. My first piece of treasure is an internet site, which is an online radio station that only plays music from Native American Powwows. The site also provides viewers with a calendar that is updated daily with the sites, locations, and titles of up and coming Powwows, which I think is pretty phenomenal. The internet site is:

Another interesting tidbit of information I found, dealt with traditional Powwow attire for women. I am very interested in fashion and have always wondered how the female dancers create such elaborate and delicate appearing ensembles. I found an online article, titled Interview: Powwow dancer Brinder Jacobs. This article outlines all the steps it takes to manufacture the bright and colorful clothes the women wear during the Powwow ceremonies. The internet site for is:

My last pieces of information are a collection of online tutorials teaching eager learners how to play the African drums. I watched the videos and I would definitely recommend them. The title of the tutorial is “How to Play African Drums: Learning New Sounds on a Djembe Drum” and they are really entertaining. The website is:

I really like how you found a video of someone who actually knew what they were doing on the African drums giving a lesson on them. I immediately had to try some of the moves on the desk as I watched it! Maybe one day I can actually try it on genuine drums!
