CALLING ALL PRINCESSES, PAST and CURRENT!
We are currently working on a special dedication and tribute page to feature all of our Princesses from the first year of 1996-1997, with Faye Ray Anderson, to the present era.
What we need and ask from each of our Princesses if they can do it is this: Get any photographs you have in your regalia that were taken during your own reign as Princess and scan them at 300 dpi if you can, and forward them to me at mickey@sopva.com as an attachment. Please be sure to list the subject line in the email as Princess Photos, so that I know who the mail is from.
Copy and save them as JPEG or GIF or PNG formatted photos. If you cannot access a scanner, or have them done for you, contact me by email and I will give you instructions on how to get them to me so that I may do them for you, and return them when the work is completed.
We want YOUR WEB PRESENCE to be GREAT, RESPECTFUL, and INFORMATIVE, so include information about who you are, such as your parents, grandparents, tribal affiliation and the years of your title and reign, such as 2010-2011.
This page will eventually be as a permanent link on this site, titled ROYALTY, and will feature your pictures and your information for each of you, to give and pay you honor for serving as a Southern Paiute Veterans Princess during your year long reign.
We want and encourage each of you to participate as much and as quickly as you can so that we can present YOUR PAGE to the world through this site. The Royalty page will be kept current year to year thereafter.
Our 2011 20th Anniversary Pow Wow, A Commeorative Pow Wow, dedicated to Lery Spotted Eagle, is now in the history books!
Many people, in addition to the Pow Wow Committee, helped make this Dedication Pow Wow a very special Pow Wow
Lucy Spotted Eagle, widow of Leroy Spotted Eagle, carried on in the finest tradition of her late husband, co-ordinating tirelessly with the members of The Committe and The Southern Paiute Veterans Honor Guard and our Generous Sponsors, to bring forth a wonderful, joyful, successful Pow Wow!
Val Shadowhawk kept the Pow Wow flowing as the very able Master of Ceremonies, working hand in hand with the expertise of Charley Bullets as this years Arena Director.
A very good combination that worked well for all.
Rick Gray again was with us this year as our Head Gourd Dancer and had members of his family including his father.
Of course the heartbeat of the Pow Wow are the Drums and along with our Host Southern Drum Southern Soul and our Host Northern Drum, Red Storm, we also had Eagle Rib and Red House.
This Pow Wow was well attended by all of those that could make the journey to help say good-bye to our Spiritual Leaderand friend, Leroy Spotted Eagle, and during the course of the Pow Wow there were several "specials" dedicated to him and his surviving family. Grateful thanks go out to each of you!
During the coming weeks this site will go through a slight face lift with new pictures added to our pages showcasing this years Dancers, Drums, Gourd Dancers and attendees, so bear with us as we go about getting all this new information online, and check back with us and visit us often.
As of right now, our 2011 Pow Wow Gallery is now online and available for your viewing. This Gallery contains about 1100 photographs, all from this special 2011 Pow Wow, and may be viewed through this link or our Gallery Page or can be accesed through the link at the bottom of this page.
This "Comment Page" is new and will be a work in progress through the coming year, and will be used to post comments from the committee when necessary, and comments and notices and updates from the web manager.
NOW let us start the plans for our next year Pow Wow on November 4-5th, 2012!! We hope to see everyone from this year, and more, there again!
