Pow-wow brings ancient tradition to SCSU

ST. CLOUD, Minn. - SCSU's American Indian Center brings American Indian traditions to college in the only pow-wow which takes place in St. Cloud. The purpose of the AIC is to respond to the self-identified needs and goals of the current American Indian students and communities alike.nn"There are so many tribes here in the United States. It's important to realize the differences and similarities of each tribe," said Jim Knutson-Kolodzne, director of AIC and member of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians. "There's six hundred different cultures of American Indians here in the United States."nnAccording to Mindy Morgan in "Redefining the Ojibwe Classroom: Indigenous Language Programs within Large Research Universities", non-tribal educational systems should start incorporating American Indian languages into schools through more innovative ways.nn"This includes accepting new visions for the university classroom — visions that include fewer chalkboards and more dance arenas," Morgan said.nnSpeaking traditional languages in ceremonies is important and allows languages to persist. Morgan says universities must strive for community involvement. The prayers said at the pow-wow were all in American Indian languages.nnBefore any dancing begins, a prayer is said and people respectfully remove their hats for a grand entry. The grand entry is an opening to the ceremony and the smell of burnt sage is strong, then the heartbeat of the drum echoes in a swirling circle reaching all corners of the building.nnThere's an arbor at the center, a ceremonial structure in the form of a giant dream catcher, which is danced around. The circle is a very important symbol in American Indian culture. Its meaning is really endless, representing the circle of life, the medicine wheel and drums.nnThere are also different types of drumming songs, some in American Indian languages, English and vocables. Vocables are made-up words that have no meaning but are still very powerful.nnJust as there are different types of drumming songs, there are also different styles of dance. There are six styles of dance, three styles of men's dance and three styles of women's dance. The men's styles of dance are traditional, fancy and grass.nnMost traditional dancers wear eagle feathers on their headdress, which is called a bustle. Their dance looks like they are out hunting for prey or in a battle. Fancy dancers' eagle feathers are colorful and they usually wear two bustles. They have to be very athletic to move on beat to a fast song and in good shape to wear two bustles. The bustles are made to look very colorful, detailed and attention grabbing.nnIn the oldest type of dance, the grass dance, dancers wear a lot of fringe and do not wear any bustles on their backs. Their movements are supposed to be fluid like grass and should look like grass blowing in the wind, according to American Indian Studies Professor at SCSU Jeanne Lacourt, a member of the Menominee Indian Tribe of WI.nnThe dancers stomp as if flattening the grass in the prairie, which was done traditionally to make room for dances. It was the job of the grass dancer to dance the grass down so people can gather. This tradition is still carried on today at some pow-wows, like the Lower Sioux Indian Community.nnThere are three different styles of women's dance. There is traditional, fancy shawl and jingle. The traditional women dancers wear buckskin or cloth such as satin or wool and usually are holding fans. They make subtle movements and carry their shawls. They bow, raise their hands or fans during honor beats.nnThe fancy shawl dancer wears a shawl over her shoulders. When describing the fancy shawl dance, "it's said they mimic the movements of a butterfly," said American Indian Studies Professor at SCSU and University of Minnesota, Darlene St. Clair, who is a member of the Lower Sioux Indian Community of Minnesota.nn"Your dance is your prayer. Whatever your heart is, that's your dance, and your heartbeat is your drumbeat," said Ann Ette Lee, member of the Dakota Sioux of South Dakota. "Dancing is a sense of cultural pride and the pow-wow is rooted in ceremony."nnAmerican Indian dancers at the pow-wow call their garments either 'regalia' or 'outfit'.nnTraditionally there was no competition at the pow-wow, but nowadays there is judging on dancing, drumming and singing.nn"I think competitions take a little away from the culture but it also draws more people in, so there's a positive and a negative to it," Yeomans said.nnSt. Clair said the drumming judging is based on how the song reaches and moves people. If people crowd and dance close to a drum it is an honor and means they are being pulled in by the music.nnThe AIC hosts a pow-wow in Halenbeck Hall every spring and this year's was hosted on Saturday, April 14.nnFor information about the American Indian Cancer Foundation's (AICAF) "Pow-wow for Hope" in Minneapolis Saturday, April 28 visit: http://goo.gl/DTyko Less

Donald Trump Met Paris Hilton When She Was 12 and Said This …nVideo Source From http://www.usmagazine.comnOh dear. Donald Trump made an icky comment about meeting Paris Hilton when she was just 12 years old. The admission came during a 2003 interview with Howard Stern that’s resurfaced amid the controversial businessman’s attack against former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, which came up during the first presidential debate with his opponent Hillary Clinton this week.nnPHOTOS: Donald Trump's Most Offensive and Outrageous QuotesnAs previously reported, Trump has bullied the Venezuelan beauty, calling her fat and “the worst Miss Universe ever,” and during an early Friday, September 30, Twitter rant accused her of having a sex tape.nnIn the resurfaced interview with Stern, Trump admitted to having watched Paris Hilton’s infamous sex tape.nn“I've known Paris Hilton from the time she's 12,” Trump told Stern back in 2003.nn“She’s hot,” Stern said of Hilton, who was then 22.nn“Her parents are friends of mine and the first time I saw her she walked into a room and I said, ‘Who the hell is that?’” the business mogul continued.nn“Did you want to bang her?” Stern asked.nn“She's a very ... Well, at 12 I wasn't interested. I've never been into that. They've sort of always stuck around that 25 category,” he responded.nnStern then asked Trump if he had seen Hilton’s sex tape, 1 Night in Paris, which was filmed and released by her then-boyfriend in 2004, and what he thought about it.nnTrump told Stern that his wife, Melania, showed it to him and that he believes the tape benefitted the socialite’s career.nn“I think it's probably unfortunate and it made Paris hotter in terms of the world because the world is so screwed up,” Trump explained, before comparing the heiress' situation to actor Hugh Grant’s 1995 scandal involving a prostitute. “I mean, you think a thing like that is going to destroy, like Hugh Grant who I love. I think he's great. He's a member of my golf club. You would have think he would have been destroyed by what happened to him and he's the biggest star now than he ever was, so you never know what happens but I think it probably made Paris even better.”nnMachado and Trump's opponent Clinton have since bashed the Republican's recent comments.nnPHOTOS: Hillary Clinton’s A-List SupportersnIn a series of tweets, Clinton dubbed Trump "unhinged" and tweeted that his insults and policies “reflect his disregard — and event contempt — for women.” nnnYou've never seen Entertainment done like this!

mumbai taj hotel. Gateway of India,Taj Hotel,Trident Mumbai 4k HD Video.Indian Boat Ride.Arabian Sea.Maharashtra.मुम्बई The Gateway of India is a monument built during the 20th century in Mumbai City of Maharashtra state in Western India.[2] It is located on the waterfront in the Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai and overlooks the Arabian Sea.[3][4] The structure is a basalt arch, 26 metres (85 feet) high. It lies at the end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Marg at the water's edge in Mumbai Harbour.[5] It was a crude jetty used by the fishing community which was later renovated and used as a landing place for British governors and other prominent people. In earlier times, it would have been the first structure that visitors arriving by boat in Mumbai would have seen.[6][7] The Gateway has also been referred to as the Taj Mahal of Mumbai,[8] and is the city's top tourist attraction.[9] The India Gate in New Delhi is similar to the Gateway of India in Mumbai. The structure was erected to commemorate the landing of King George V and Queen Mary at Apollo Bunder, when they visited India in 1911. Built in Indo-Saracenic style, the foundation stone for the Gateway of India was laid on 31 March 1911. The final design of George Wittet was sanctioned in 1914 and the construction of the monument was completed in 1924. The Gateway was later the ceremonial entrance to India for Viceroys and the new Governors of Bombay.[10] It served to allow entry and access to India.[11] The monument has witnessed three terror attacks from the beginning of the 21st century; twice in 2003 and it was also the disembarkation point in 2008 when four gunmen attacked the Taj Mahal Palace & Tower. The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is a five-star hotel located in the Colaba region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, next to the Gateway of India. Part of the Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, this hotel is considered the flagship property of the group and contains 560 rooms and 44 suites. There are some 1,500 staff including 35 butlers. From a historical and architectural point of view, the two buildings that make up the hotel, the Taj Mahal Palace, and the Tower are two distinct buildings, built at different times and in different architectural designs. The hotel has hosted many notable guests, from presidents to captains of industry and stars of show business. The Oberoi and Trident are two brands of five star hotels operated and sometimes owned by the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts located in several cities in India and across the world. When located together in a single complex, they are collectively called Oberoi Trident. Oberoi Hotels & Resorts and Trident Hotels at Mumbai are located at Nariman Point and are separately known as The Oberoi Mumbai and Trident, Nariman Point. They are both owned and managed by the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts. The two hotels are separate buildings, but are connected by a passage. The hotels were initially known as Oberoi Towers/Oberoi Sheraton. The hotel was named as the Hilton Towers during the marketing alliance between Hilton Hotels and the Oberoi Hotels & Resorts which lasted from 2004 until April 2008. In April 2008, the hotel was again renamed to Trident Towers. The Gateway of India is a major tourist destination and a popular gathering spot for locals, street vendors and photographers.[19] In 2012, Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation moved the "Elephanta Festival of music and dance" from its original location at Elephanta Caves (where it had been celebrated for 23 years) to the Gateway due to the increased capacity offered by the venue. The Gateway can host 2,000 to 2,500 people, whereas Elephanta Caves could host only 700 to 800 people. The Taj hotel's original building was commissioned by Tata and first opened its doors to guests on 16 December 1903. It is widely believed that Jamsetji Tata decided to build the hotel after he was refused entry to one of the city's grand hotels of the time, Watson's Hotel, as it was restricted to "whites only". However, this story has been challenged by some commentators that suggest that Tata was unlikely to have been concerned with 'revenge' against his British adversaries. Instead, they suggest that the Taj was built at the urging of editor of The Times of India who felt a hotel "worthy of Bombay" was needed. The original Indian architects were Sitaram Khanderao Vaidya and D. N. Mirza, and the project was completed by an English engineer, W. A. Chambers. The builder was Khansaheb Sorabji Ruttonji Contractor who also designed and built its famous central floating staircase. The cost of construction was £250,000 (£127 million in 2008 prices). During World War I the hotel was converted into a hospital with 600 beds. The Taj Mahal Tower, an additional wing of the hotel, was opened in 1973. It was designed by Melton Bekker. Mumbai (/mʊmˈbaɪ/; also known as Bombay, the official name until 1995) is the capital city of the Indian state of Maharashtra. Less
