I've always wanted to participate in an actual pow wow, but I don't know anyone close enough who would have enough standing to vouch for me to let me join in.

Where abouts are you? I just started dancing last year. And singing the year before. But, if you get a chance. Stay with it.
I'm in Minneapolis. The Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux community is nearby, and they're the largest band.
The only downside? I'm white and not affiliated with any tribe whatsoever. I don't even think I'd be allowed.
I'm a full blooded white man too. It's taken a few years, but I was gifted last year. See if you can get in on a drum group. Practice. Do your thing. Embrace life to the best of your ability. Skies the limit.
We will travel out to Ontario late in the summer. Your welcome to come up anytime. Check it out up here. Alot of people experience that tension for their first year. From what I'm told, it washes away once you keep going. I've been lucky enough to be adopted in, myself.
