The customs of Native American jewelry has played a large role in the past and present United States beliefs and is the symbol of nature in tribal ceremonies, and represents position in Indian culture.
The natural materials were used in jewelry manufacturing, including feathers with minerals and precious stones such as turquoise and silver.
For thousands of years, turquoise has been retained, both for its natural beauty and its presumed power to heal. Turquoise is a sacred stone that has been used for centuries to beautify custom objects and is still considered an appreciated possession by American Indians of the Navajo, Hopi, Zuni, Pueblo and other Indian nations. The story of Native American Jewelry goes back even earlier to early Egypt, as exquisite turquoise ornaments were discovered in graves. Native American Jewelry was a memento of the terrain around them.
Native American Jewelry has played an important role in American culture. During healing ceremonies and tribal customs, the Indian population to take accountability and pride only to specific types of religious Native American Jewelry that was the right colors, materials, and represents a good symbol of this ritual event. Native American history tells us that the jewelry worn by indigenous people is representative of different stages in the life of an individual is spent. In many young American tribes are required to adulthood when they acquire the spiritual totem composed of shells, beads or other symbols of nature.
Native American jewelry was often given to women after the first menstrual cycle that the realization of femininity and new couples together for health, happiness and success away from the path of family life.
Because our culture today most jewelry uses for decorative purposes, we often forget the roots of jewelry and how, in some cultures, it can have a deeper religious meaning. Recognizing the importance of this spiritual jewelry in other cultures allows us to see more symbolic uses that jewelry can be used for.
Today our society and culture adorns the Native American jewelry for its elegance and fashion and most people are not aware of the religious, ritual and traditional values of that jewelry. By recognizing and understanding the values set on the Native American jewelry we can learn to admire the beauty symbolic of the Native American culture.

Pow wow is a fascinating gathering of Native American Indians which may last from days to a week. Pow wow is an important cultural expression of the Native American heritage.
The name pow wow derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning shaman. It has since come to be used to describe any gathering of Native Americans of any tribes. An early twenty-first century pow wow is a specific type of event held by Native Americans.
Pow wows have evolved from a formal ceremony of the past into modern blend of dance, family reunion and festival. Over time Pow wow traditions have adapted and changed into a bright, fast and exciting event geared towards Native Americans and visitors alike.
Pow wows can vary in length from a single session of 5-6 hours to three days with one to three sessions a day. Major pow wows or pow wows called for a special occasion can be up to one week long.
This occasion is filled with colorful regalia of the participating dancers from the different Native American Indian tribes. As the dancers parade around the arena, different kinds and types of regalia can be seen. Almost every Native American Indian wears feathers and beads, not just on their headdresses but also on their body apparel. Some of them display different kind of jewelry and even bells dangling on their attire.
The head dancers consist of the Head Man Dancer and the Head Woman Dancer, and often Head Teen Dancers, Head Little Boy and Girls Dancers, Head Golden Age Dancers, and a Head Gourd Dancer if the pow wow will be having gourd dancing. The head dancers are responsible for leading the other dancers during a song and often dancers will not enter the arena unless the head dancers are already out dancing. The head dancers also lead the other dancers in the grand entry or parade of dancers that opens a pow wow.
The Host Drum of the pow wow is a drum group responsible for providing music for the dancers to dance to. At an Intertribal pow wow generally two or more drums are hired to be the host drums, often a Host Northern Drum and a Host Southern Drum. Each drum has a Lead Singer who runs his drum and leads his singers while singing. Host drums are responsible for singing the songs at the beginning and end of a pow wow session, generally a starting song, the grand entry song, a flag song, and a veterans or victory song to start the pow wow, and a flag song, retreat song and closing song to end the pow wow. Additionally, if a pow wow has gourd dancing, the Southern Host Drum is often the drum that sings all the gourd songs, though another drum can perform them. The host drums are often called upon to sing special songs during the pow wow.
Pow wow is normally set up as a series of large circles. The center circle is the dance arena, outside of which is a circle consisting of the MC’s table, drum groups and sitting areas for dancers and their families. Beyond these two circles for participants is often an area for spectators, while outside of all are several rings of vendor’s booths, where one can buy supplies, food, or arts and crafts.
The Pow wow begins with what is called the Grand Entry. All the dancers line up by dance style and age. Then they enter the arena while one of the host drums sings a special song. Pow Wows are full of Native American dancing, singing, educational displays, and authentic food. The pow wow is the Native American’s way of expressing their cultural heritage. Most dancers seen at Pow Wows today perform social dances which might have had different meanings in earlier days.

The tunes on Prophecy–hymns to solidarity, ambient sound collage, spirited flute, drum, and Native chant–compose one of the all-time most popular programs broadcast on weekly public radio, Hearts of Space. Featuring some of Native America’s most prominent artists, including Joanne Shenandoah, Lawrence Laughing, Coyote Oldman, and William Easton, Prophecy resonates with mellow mindfulness. Verdell Primeaux and Johnny Mike conjoin traditional sounds with samples and “ambient textures,” while Soulfood’s uplifting “Wayob” widens the net with the inclusion of birdsong and children’s voices. “Wisdom,” a composition of strange and mystical beauty, leads with gorgeously restrained cello and blends the finest Native American and Tibetan elements (flutes, horns, chants, and prayers) as interpreted by R. Carlos Nakai and Nawang Khechog. –Paige La Grone
