Hey Roca, I’m planning to be at Shenandoah, also. Hoping to camp somewhere near it.
Probably will go to Mebane, too. Noticed in the flyer that dancing is “by invitation only”. Has it always been that way?
We would love to go to Shenandoah Valley…not sure with the budget yet. Nottoway is the following weekend, I think. So we will have to pick and choose depending on gas prices.
I can’t get the PDF flyer to download, but, the flyer I have in my notebook doesn’t state that. Usually if you are in proper regalia, I don’t think there would be a problem, but you can always check with the emcee or arena director. Ken and I both hope to dance.

No, it hasn’t always been that way.
Additional information on Occaneechi Pow wow in Mebane.
The flyer says that the time for Friday is 5-9 p.m. And Saturday is 10-9. That is running a lot longer than usual, I think.
I had an email from Forest that those regular dancers dressed in regalia will not have a problem dancing. So that should answer your question, eh?
Just a side note…I had mentioned that Nottoway was the last weekend in June. Actually, it will be held in September this year. Will post more on that as it nears.

The Chereonhaka Nottoway have a pow wow in July.

I guess you’re referring to the Virginia Nottoway.
Yes, I was referring to the Nottoway Indians of Virginia, who had a pow wow last year in June. The Cheroenhaka pow wow is listed in the July pow wows.

Bringing this forward since the Burlington, NC pow wow is this weekend. Should be beautiful weather, but, do remember that it is out in the open with no shade. Also, plan to stay hydrated as well. Saw a dancer pass out last year due to the heat. We will have our canopy up for any Saponitown folks that want to share our shade. In fact, we met quite a wonderful young lady last year at this pow wow…..she had a “B” on her hat…..and they shared our shade and a lot of good memories…..right, Sis?
