[QUOTE="ILL_INI, post: 1326622, member: 4851"] Because I don't believe it is possible. The authentic dances and music are religious and soulful, not something to fire up the crowd. The way I had it explained to me is if there was a student dressed up as a Catholic priest or bishop who processed in and the crowd went wild when he genuflected or raised the communion host or something. Sure, it could be authentic and a teaching moment, but it would be very inappropriate. Most of the activists don't want to promote the stereotypical idea of 19th century Indians while they are suffering with unemployment and drug addiction on their reservations. [/QUOTE]
