A **pow-wow** (also **powwow** or **pow wow**) is a gathering of North America's Native people. The word derives from the [|Narragansett] word //powwaw//, meaning "spiritual leader". A modern pow-wow is a specific type of event where both Native American/First Nations and non-Native American/First Nations people meet to dance, sing, socialize, and honor Native American/First Nations culture. The word has also been used to refer to a meeting, especially a meeting of powerful people such as officers in the military. However, such use is sometimes viewed as disrespectful to Native culture. - [|Wikipedia]
