Modern pau-wow is a specific event in which Americans and Indians are going to dance, sing, communicate, discuss Indian culture. On the pau-wah there are dance competitions, often with cash prizes. Pau-wah can last from several hours to three days, and the most important ‘Pow wow’ can last up to a week.
