A pow wow (also powwow or pow-wow) is a social gathering held by many different Native American communities.The word derives from the Narragansett word powwaw, meaning spiritual leader. A similar gathering by California Native Peoples usually in the fall is called a Big Time.he arena director makes sure dancers are dancing during the pow wow and that the drum groups know what type of song to sing. If there are contests the arena director is ultimately responsible for providing judges, though he often has another assistant who is the head judge.
The powhiri is the ritual ceremony of encounter. Traditionally the process served to discover whether the visiting party were friend or foe, and so its origins lay partly in military necessity.he kaupapa or purpose of the occasion will be discussed, and perhaps general present day issues and concerns might be aired. Each speech is followed by the performance of a waiata (song), or sometimes a haka (dance), by the orator's support group.
