联合部落的祈祷仪式
地方性遗产
祈祷仪式是印地安部落保存他们文化及把常规传给下一代的方法。它们是印地安人的宗教仪式或社交聚会，活动内容包括了舞蹈比赛及音乐表演。北达科他州俾斯麦的年度联合部落祈祷仪式始自1969年。联合部落共包含了北达科他境内的五个印地安部落：灵湖(Spirit
Lake)、西色坦渥波顿苏族(Sisseton-Wahpton
Sioux)及斯坦丁洛克苏族(Standing
Rock Sioux)、乌龟山保留区(Turtle
Mountain Band)的奇珀瓦人(Chippewa)以及伯特霍尔德堡(Fort
Berthold)的三个部族，表演者会穿上代表自己部落的彩色服饰。
参加联合部落祈祷仪式的常规舞者共有1,500多位，而他们负责表演40多种的鼓乐。女性也许会表演难度极高的披巾舞蹈。她们会身披美丽的装饰披巾进行踢腿及快速旋转等动作。这项舞蹈极具挑战性，因为它的行进动作较为快速。男性舞者也许会表演玻璃舞蹈，他们会穿上挂有长串布料的服饰，也会头戴一顶插有两根羽毛的头饰(roach)，然后羽毛会随着他的舞蹈摇摆或旋转。
祈祷仪式上也有一场印地安艺术展览会及市集，印地安艺术家会在此处聚集并藉以展示他们的常规作品，如：陶器、首饰、珠饰及绘画。
Powwows are a way for Indian tribes to preserve their culture and hand down traditions. They are Indian ceremonies or social gatherings that include dance competitions and music. The United Tribes Powwow in Bismarck, North Dakota, has been held every year since 1969. The United Tribes are the five tribes in North Dakota: the Spirit Lake, the Sisseton-Wahpton Sioux, the Standing Rock Sioux, the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa, and the Three Affiliated Tribes of Fort Berthold. Performers wear colorful outfits of their tribe.
More than 1,500 traditional dancers perform to more than 40 drum groups at the United Tribes Powwow. Women might perform the fancy shawl dance. Dancers wear beautifully decorated shawls as they do kicks and twirls. This dance is challenging because it requires fast movements. Male dancers might perform the grass dance. A grass dancer wears an outfit with long strands of fabric hanging off it. He would also wear a roach, a kind of headdress with two feathers that rock or twirl as he dances.
There is also an Indian Art Expo and Market at the powwow where Indian artists gather to show their traditional work, such as pottery, jewelry, beadwork, and paintings.
