Worldwide , who had been hoping to expand the festival to a European city. Since the Rewriters team had been dreaming of a street art festival in their own city, they decided to collaborate and make these dreams a reality. In the first POW! Rotterdam took place in the M4H area , also know as Merwe-Vierhaven.
This part of the festival was actually conceived because the organization had more artists than they had wall space for. However, because it turned out to be so much fun, they decided to host t again after the festival moved to the Afrikaanderwijk neighborhood. It has become a fixture of POW! Rotterdam ever since. The streets belong to the people living and working there, and all people deserve beautiful and thought-provoking things equally.
Art on walls and in public space is there to be enjoyed by everyone, rather than being surrounded by walls, accessible only for a chosen few.
This is why we believe so strongly in the power of street art. The flag here also reminds people of those who have fought for this country. Following the veterans are other important guests of the Pow-Wow including tribal chiefs, Princesses, elders and the Pow-Wow organizers. Next in line are the men dancers. The men are followed by the women dancers. Once everyone is in the arena, the song ends and a song is sung to honor the flag and veterans. After prayer, the dancing resumes, usually with a few Round Dances.
After the Round Dances, intertribal dancing songs are sung and everyone dances to the beat of the drum. Be on time. The Committee is doing everything possible to ensure that activities begin and run smoothly. Please cooperate in this regard. Appropriate dress and behavior is required in the Arena. Anyone unwilling to abide by this rule will be asked to leave by the Arena Director.

It is not a song for dancing. Pow-Wows are usually non-profit. Some dancers carry eagle wing fans, shields, or coup sticks decorated with eagle plumes and horsehair in their hands. The Grass Dance style is a very old dance rich in history that has become very popular.
In the old days, it was the job of the grass dancers to flatten the grass in the arena before a pow wow. The name "grass" does not come from the stomping of grass, but it comes from the old habit of tying braids of sweet grass to the dancer's belts, producing a swaying effect.
Today, Grass Dancers resemble a multicolored swaying mass of yarn or fringe on the dance floor. The Grass Dance is a very fluid and bendable style, with the dancers trying to move their fringe in as many places as possible at once. The Grass Dance style was born in the north, but its popularity has spread south, now this beautiful style is available for everyone.
A stick with brightly colored feathers attached at the end fastens the roach to the top of the head and a string around the neck fastens the roach midway down the back. Two bustles are worn, one is attached to the back with buckskin straps tied to the chin and chest and the other is worn at the waist. The dancers wear fully beaded capes and aprons with matching belts with side drops, cuffs, and moccasins. They also wear small bustles on their arms, which match the large bustles.
They carry sticks decorated with brightly colored feathers and ribbons in their hands. The complete outfit is decorated with multi-colored ribbons to add movement to the dance steps.
The dancers wear bells on the on the calves and white angora fur around the angles. Horsehair is sometimes added to the tips of the bustles. Originated from the Blackfeet and Cree of the Northern Plains, this dance is done as an imitation of the mating dance of prairie chicken grouse. Each tribe has specific dress and dance styles, the following are the more typical ones seen at a pow wow.
The northern plains traditional dancers are sometimes referred to as "stationary" dancers. They stand on the outer edge of the dance arena. They barely move their feet and gently bend their knees and sedately move up and down in rhythm with the drum. The northwestern tribes dance around the arena moving their feet and heads in rhythm with the drum.
The cloth dress and buckskin dresses are different but the dance style is the same for most of the northern plains tribes. The northern traditional buckskin dresses are elaborately decorated with beadwork. The yoke and sleeves of the dresses are completely beaded. The dress may also be decorated with porcupine quillwork, shells, elk teeth, or brass beads. The remainder of the outfit includes matching headbands or crown, hair tie, purses, moccasins, chokers, earring and shawl.
Women who have an Indian name will wear an eagle feather or eagle plume in their hair. The jingle dress is made of a cloth, velvet or leather base adorned with jingles made out of a shiny metal.
