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.
Pow Wows are the Native American peopleâs way of meeting together, to join in dancing, singing, visiting, renewing old friendships, and making new ones. This is a time method to renew Native American culture and preserve the rich heritage of American Indians.nother belief is that when the Native American tribes were forced onto reservations the government also forced them to have dances for the public to come and see. Before each dance they were lead through the town in a parade, which is the beginning of the Grand Entry.
