Some of the variations of give-aways seen at gatherings today include: NAMING: One or more people receive an Indian name. Gifts are exchanged from relatives of those named, and non-relatives, (especially the poor, orphans, widows, mourners, visitors, elders, etc.) in honor of those being named. MEMORIAL: Memorial gtve-aways herd'.at^pow-wovys are usually done in honor of a deceased singer or dancer. This type of give away has an especially religious connotation that i l j s a fin’al prayerful act to help the spirit of the deceased in its spiritual progress on the 'other side* ; < VETERANS: There are many veteran's honor songs and whenever one is performed for an individual (living or dead) gifts are given to the singers in honor of the veteran. When given the honor of retrieving a fallen eagle feather, this individual will often giveaway for his honor The party who dropped the feather must' also give-away in order to reclaim his^ feather- FIRST DANCE: Often, when a youth under the age of 18 starts dancing, the famiiy will have a public give-away to the other dancers to 'make room* for a new dancer. A honor song is performed for the new dancer. THE WHISTLE MAN: When exercising his duties, prolonging a song, or riding herd on the singers, this person will give-away in honor of the dignity of his status. SINGERS AND DANCERS: These persons are often the recipients of the gifts for their participation. (From the POW-WOW booklet produced by the American Indian . Culture Center. Thank you Springfield.
