One famous Polynesian tradition is a celebration dinner to mark an important event.

Pow-wow is a rich traditional dance embraced and practiced by the various native Indian tribes such as Ponca, Kiowa among others. Often, celebrated with dancing, tribal drums, food and chanting in the circle. It was originally known as Pau wau, a healing ceremony overseen by the traditional leaders. In 1977, as the white man started occupying the Native American lands, their army forced the Ponca people from the northern plains of Nebraska to the Indian lands. Many Poncas lost their lives, however, they were survived by their culture and songs. Pow-wow was then adopted by other Indian tribes who started dancing it in their own tradition way. This essay shall discuss how Pow-wow tradition evolved and why it was so important to the tribal people.

While exploring different readings and watching numerous films about the meaning of Aloha ʻĀina, I have learned that the simple meaning translates into “love of the land”. However, Aloha ʻĀina also has a more complex meaning that embraces a deep connection to the people, the land, the culture, a way of life, and a way of viewing life. My goal in this paper is to define the true meaning of Aloha ʻĀina, talk about the Aloha ʻĀina movement, and help others understand why this term is so important to Hawaii.
When comparing cultures, one must form a definition of what culture is. Culture can be easily defined as the social behavior and normality’s found in human societies. It can also be easily made up of a composed arrangement of educated conduct and thought designs. Culture is a sorted out framework since it includes many parts. Throughout the world, there are many cultures that are both very different and also very similar. "Culture encompasses religion, food, what we wear, how we wear it, our language, marriage, music, what we believe is right or wrong, how we sit at table, how we greet visitors, how we behave and one million other things."

Pat Ferraro, the director of “Hopi: Songs of the Fourth World”, brilliantly plunged into the heart of Hopi’s culture and illustrated the richness of Hopi’s life. Instead of concentrating on the negative features of Hopi’s lives, Ferraro focused on the harmony that the Hopi induced via the customs and culture they continue to uphold. Cultural farming was one of the Hopi’s everyday activities. In illustrating this, Ferraro presents the theme of living in balance and harmony with nature. As Ferraro captures this theme, he also captures Hopi’s traditional ceremonial life that helped disclose the harmony of Hopi’s life.
