Native American Barbie Doll Third Edition Dolls of the World 1994 Mattel 12699

Hello from the Southern Plains of North America, which include Oklahoma and parts of Nebraska and Kansas. I'm getting ready for a genuine Native American Powwow, and you're invited to come join the fun!

Long ago, the powwow began when one tribe wanted to form a friendship with another tribe. There was great feasting on roasted buffalo meat, corn, beans and squash. It was also a time for gift-giving. The friendship bag, a deerskin shoulder pouch decorated with porcupine quills, was packed with meat, tobacco, and other gifts, and presented as a symbol of friend- ship and goodwill.

Today, tribes gather from all parts of North America for the powwow. A traditional feast is followed by friendly competition between tribes as they perform songs and dances from their past. I'll be leading "The Round Dance," an age-old tribal dance performed in a circle while holding hands. It originated in the circle camps, where teepees (cone-shaped tents) were pitched in a circle, leaving the center free for ceremonies.

My dancing outfit is an updated version of a tribal princess costume. It's a mix of traditional style with the latest colors and accessories of today! I'll be pretty in my pink tunic and skirt with geometric patterns, white fringe. and ribbon trim. My moccasins, beaded necklace. turquoise earrings and ring complete my modern- day powwow look!

I've been looking forward to this celebration for so long! And now that you're here, it's sure to be extra special! Let the powwow begin!
