[00:29:40]one of our radio personalities here at the Spear Lake Dakota Nation does an excellent job and I believe he's been helping out in the communities during our events doing helping us in our health promotion.

[00:30:07]>> Check.

[00:30:18]Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

[00:30:22]I wanted to uh share a little history about traditional dancing.

[00:30:31]You know for since the early '7s we used to travel here for Fort Totten days and in those days the POW committee they had they paid 10 places out in all of the categories and they put up $1,500 before anybody else did in this area.

[00:31:02]And there was no casinos back then.

[00:31:06]And the Powow Committee raised money all year long to put on that celebration.

[00:31:12]And they fed us rations when we at our camps.

[00:31:18]And a lot of dancers that I danced with back that time are all gone now.

[00:31:25]Now I'm dancing with their sons and grandsons.

[00:31:30]That victory dance song that was sung at the Veterans Day pow in Cisetin, South Dakota some years ago.

[00:31:44]They sang those started to sing those victory dance songs.

[00:31:49]I looked around and nobody knew how to dance to them.

[00:31:55]So, I started dancing the way you're supposed to to each one of those songs.

[00:32:01]When I got done, people were laughing at me. They made fun of me for dancing the way I was.

[00:32:12]One of the original porcupine singers, Philip Wright, was there and uh he was up on the announcer stand with his cane and he talked.

[00:32:27]He said uh I watched all you dancers make fun of uh Terry. He said, "Well, he danced those songs."

[00:32:37]He said, "But that's the first time in 30ome years that I seen those dances done the way they're supposed to be done."

[00:32:47]Instead of making fun of him, you guys should be learning, learning something.

[00:32:55]And especially you know our young people that are watching around the arena our way of life or they call this way of dancing back in the old days lot style dancing that's what they say and they taught us a lot of things old dancers about traditional dancing now I watch on Facebook and I see all the things that you're not supposed to do as a traditional dancer.

[00:33:28]Those are the guys that are winning today.

[00:33:32]So, our tradition is slipping away from us little by little.

[00:33:38]Last weekend and I went to Madison, Wisconsin for one day pow.

[00:33:44]Our final song was a change up song.

[00:33:48]And this group, I'm not going to say their name, but they sang a song for us, and it was a men's fancy dance trick song, and it was made by Redders singers and recorded back in the 70s.

[00:34:04]But these young singers didn't know, so they just decided to sing that kind of song for us.

[00:34:13]But each one of these dances, there are songs that go with them.

[00:34:22]the way it's supposed to be done today. You don't hear those songs.

[00:34:29]Everybody wants to make new songs and they forget about the old ways.

[00:34:35]It's good to make something new, but don't let go of the past.

[00:34:41]I just wanted to share a little bit and say thank you to listening to me here this afternoon.

[00:34:58]Terry for sharing some history with us, some of our culture.

[00:35:05]With that, we're going to move right on down to our next special for Jolie Kavanaaugh. Teen Girls Jingle Special. So, all you Teen Girls, stand by.

[00:35:19]Teen Girls Jingle Special Visiting with the Family. They're not going to do an honor song this evening.

[00:35:27]They're going to go right into contest.

[00:35:32]So, dancers, stand by.

[00:35:43]Also, the just wanted to there's a lost and found in the bathroom.

[00:35:49]This is got some real long eyelashes in there and some foundation.

[00:35:59]There's a phone in here, too. So, I had a Somebody dropped their bag. We'll leave it up here. You'll probably have to unlock the phone to take all this uh makeup with you. Oh, >> they'll join in for the last four.

[00:36:30]>> Okay, let me stand out there.

[00:36:40]Yes. All the youth are excused unless you're dancing in this jingle dress special. Let me let me me get out of the way over here.

[00:36:54]All you Coahomony dancers, we're later on we're going into Coahomy special. So stand by.

[00:37:04]I believe the family has already visited with Tokua [sighs] for the songs that they're requesting this evening.

[00:37:14]Jolie Kavanaaugh has been representing the Spear Lake tribe as our traveling princess.

[00:37:20]She's 16 years old. She's a sophomore here in Devil's Lake High School. She's the granddaughter of the late Robert Kavanaaugh senior, Blaine Anderson, Betty Smith, Tammy for the daughter of Reggie Kavanaaugh and Hannah Anderson.

[00:37:37]Jolie has traveled to many paws with her family to represent the Spear Lake Dakota nation while being a traveling princess.

[00:37:47]Some of the paws she's attended over this past year has been White Shield North Dakota, Bcourt, North Dakota, Shakapei, United Tribes, Bismar, Siston, Prairie Island, Mandere, and Grand Forks. She's also attended many community day powals where she has had specials to give back to the community.

[00:38:11]She feels an it's been an honor to her and her family to be a traveling PR princess and representing Spirit Lake nation. Jolie and a family are looking forward to the summer paws where she'll have an opportunity to continue to represent our tribe.

[00:38:28]We are thankful for this Dakota way of life and want to give thanks by giving back here today.

[02:23:45]So this evening, if you would uh stand by, if you notice, there's some prizes. I believe there's going to be five places.

[02:24:03]And I guess I believe we do have some judges.

[02:24:09]>> You have any judges here?

[02:24:11]>> These are the judges.

[02:24:12]>> Okay. So these are the judges we need.

[02:24:14]We need Okay. So Birdie, we need I imagine we need Cushi Kathy.

[02:24:35]These are our judges for this. Uh so you guys might want to go ahead and come up here. Hey, you want to uh bring me one of your microphones? Use guys are going to sing. And uh like I said, the nephews here, the nephew and the brother, they're going to be providing the music here this evening for for our contestants.

[02:24:55]So, we're going to ask all of our uh all of our uh contestants.

[02:25:00]I believe there's going to be five places.

[02:25:05]There's going to be some prize money.

[02:25:08]And again, I was asked uh the other day, they uh they gave me some tobacco.

[02:25:15]They brought a big old bucket of chicken. I've been chewing on that uh eating that bucket of chicken here for about the last 24 hours now.

[02:25:24]And they asked me if I would uh speak on behalf of their their little family and their relatives here. But uh this evening, they want to give back.

[02:25:33]They want to give back to the circle and uh to be asked So, we're going to ask our uh couples once again. Each one of these you see up here, there's a there's a set.

[02:25:51]>> Okay.

[02:25:54]>> All right. There's going to be sets.

[02:25:56]Each uh placing couple will uh receive a set, his and hers set.

[02:26:05]So remember now I want to let you know that uh this is on uh pow.com.

[02:26:12]So if you borrow somebody as a partner and you didn't bring your uh significant other we just want to make sure that uh nobody gets in trouble. Okay. This is go home once at one time go home dance and I was asked to explain this but at one time this is how we did our socials. we did social dancing. Today we're in modern times and I know a lot of the times that uh we do dance with our significant others whether it's our wife or companion but at one time these dances were made for social dancing and it would be you didn't dance with your significant other but of course as a couple they wanted to have gahony so they're going to do it this way so they're going to do it they're going to judge by the dancing.

[02:27:08]This isn't rabbit dance, okay? It's not rabbit dance. All right? And I'm pretty sure that my nephews here, they know songs. Like I said, their grandpa and their dad was a very renowned Okawicha, Mr. Marty Mstrom.

[02:27:31]So, I know Chaz for a fact, but I also know Lane that they grew up around the drum and they know singing.

[02:27:40]And again, there's there's something that they're specifically looking for.

[02:27:43]The judges will be specifically looking for that style of dance.

[02:27:50]And again, there's a I want to make sure that uh we don't leave anybody out.

[02:28:06]So I'm going to read right what's right off the paper. So this goes special sponsored by headman and headwoman judges and it says we wanted to do this go home special give back to the circle and to say thank you to the spirit lake VFW veterans for asking us to be a part of this year's minuipi celebration 2026 and there's going to be two songs once again by the nephew and and also the Brother, brother and lane.

[02:34:50]One more song.

[02:34:53]And then our judges will be picking, I believe, five couples.

[02:34:59]And then those five couples will be dancing for I believe the placing.

[02:35:13]Once again, want to say thank you to all our couples that uh stuck it out here with us this evening to get into this special.

[02:35:22]Like I said, Anthony and Terra, really appreciate all of you coming and supporting the celebration and the veterans, the VFW veterans here on Spirit Lake.

[02:35:39]So, in a little bit here, singers are getting their song together here.

[02:35:53]So, this is the song you want to make the difference in right here.

[02:35:58]Get in the top five.

[02:36:18]All right, here we go. Song number two.

[02:40:04]So, judges are going to pick five.

[02:40:09]They'll figure out which five how they want to do this.

[02:40:16]There'll be five five couples being picked here selected. Those five couples will be going on to the finals.

[02:40:30]All right. Looks like there's one that got one couple selected there already.

[02:40:49]All right, here we go.

[02:40:52]Couple more selections being made.

[02:40:59]Okay, another couple. Two. There's three.

[02:41:12]We still have two more.

[02:41:22]All right. Looks like couple number four and couple number five.

[02:41:30]All right, we want to say thank you to the rest of all of you for coming out this evening, helping out our head judges.

[02:41:42]I said tough to be a judge.

[02:41:56]So again, the headman, head woman and their relatives here want to say thank you. This is their way of saying thank you to the committee and to the veterans and giving something back.

[02:42:09]I said the couple here they travel and take their family. They go they take their family with them everywhere they go. Always traveling to Pawa circuit.

[02:42:19]Always going and taking part in all the celebrations.

[02:42:27]Drive back all night. Make it back to work Monday morning.

[02:42:34]No matter how far away they go.

[02:42:38]All right. Want to say thank you for the sportsmanship to all the rest of the couples.

[02:42:43]Thank you for coming out supporting the family.

[02:42:50]All right, we're going to ask the rest of our five couples if you will get out there someplace.

[02:42:58]Get yourself station yourself out. Once again, we're going to be picking picking our couples. We'll be going fifth place down to first place.

[02:43:12]I believe this next song is going to be five push-ups. Within those four four push-ups, we'll be selecting the winners. The last one out there will be our champion couple, our winners.

[02:43:28]And on that fifth push-up, our sponsors, Anthony and Terara, are going to dance that last push-up with our winners.

[02:43:47]So once again, I don't know how they're going to do uh the selection, if it's first through fifth or I don't know if it's by choice or how that's going to go with the uh sets over there did some really beautiful work. Whoever the it is right there, raise your hand right here. This is the seamstress right there.

[02:44:16]>> Oh, Regina. All right.

[02:44:19]So, if you need some work done, there you go. Looks like you're going to be doing more of a homey special.

[02:44:28]There you go.

[02:44:31]So, really nice work there, Gina.

[02:44:34]Regina.

[02:44:40]So once again, the judges are over there huddled up. They're going to figure out maybe they're going to do leg wrestling.

[02:44:50]Figure it out here. I don't know how how who's going to pick how they're going to pick fourth on down. They'll figure all that out.

[02:45:08]>> So Five push-ups.

[02:45:12]Five push-ups is going to be this next song. This ch championship song. Last one out there will be our winner. And I do believe it's 500, 400, 300, 200, and 100.

[02:45:29]So that's a nice little some coffee money and maybe a little gas money help you out.

[02:45:55]All right. So, tomorrow these these uh top five are probably going to be you see them walking around here, they'll probably be limping a little bit. So, you know how hard they danced here. The homonyy special.

[02:46:12]So, as soon as I get the nod from the judges, judges, you all set? Singers, you all set? Dancers, are you all set?

[02:46:22]All right, let's get on out on the floor.

[02:46:26]Good luck to all of you. This next song, like last championship song, will be five push-ups.

[02:46:33]So once again, we'll leave it up to Chaz and Lane song.
