Have you ever been to a pow-wow?

While visiting my son in Washington State this summer, he invited my wife and i to a native American Indian Pow-Wow. We have never been to a pow-wow, so we thought this might be interesting. Was it ever! We stayed for six hours and ate their food and sampled their blankets and beads. The loud beat of the drum set the mood. Since i am part Cherokee Indian, i began to sense something in my body that i have never felt before. A feeling that i belonged and understood the meaning of a pow-wow. Question: Have you ever been to a pow-wow? If so, please explain how you felt and would you go again?
