However, congregation can also refer to a gathered assembly body, or really just a group of people who have come together for one reason or another. People tend to congregate over: 1. Times of death: With the tragedy and sadness of death usually comes a sense of unity and togetherness experienced by mourners. It's not uncommon to hear about friends and family members who drifted over the years, and in a time of loss come back together, work out their differences and forgive one another for whatever was standing between them. While formal death proceedings usually take place in some sort of religious institution, congregations of one kind or another take place in many locations during these times. Jews for instance, spend up to a week sitting 'shiva' in the home of the closest relative. There people can come, eat, and mourn all together. Friends may congregate in the deceased's favourite spot, family members may congregate to sprinkle ashes, go through old photos and generally commemorate the person they loved so much. 2.pow wow]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Time-To-Congregate/2912524 Mon, 29 Aug 2011 08:11:58 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Time-To-Congregate/2912524 Animals Conferences Aug-10-2011 -The 172nd Erie County Fair 2011 at United States Aug-10-2011 -Tillamook County Fairgrounds 2011 at United States Aug-17-2011 -The Yolo County Fair 2011 at United States Aug-17-2011 -The 144th Orleans County Fair 2011 at United States Aug-19-2011 -The North Texas State Fair and Rodeo 2011 at United States Aug-19-2011 -Horse Days 2011 at United States Aug-22-2011 -Harford Fair 2011 at United States Aug-24-2011 -Caledonia County Fair 2011 at United States Aug-26-2011 -Oregon State Fair 2011 at United States Aug-27-2011 -The 5th Annual Big Haynes Creek Wildlife Festival 2011 at United States Aug-30-2011 -The Great Allentown Fair 2011 at United States Sep-09-2011 -Do The Puyallup Fair 2011 at United States Sep-13-2011 -The 8th Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) Meeting on Microbial Pathogenesis AND Host Response 2011 at United States Sep-22-2011 -The 7th Annual Monterey Bay Birding Festival 2011 at United States Sep-24-2011 -Pet Fair Asia 2011 at China Oct-15-2011 -NYS Sheep and Wool Festival 2011 at United States Nov-05-2011 -North American International Livestock Exposition 2011 at United States Nov-19-2011 -The 8th Annual Houston Championship Chili Cookoff 2011 at United States Jan-25-2012 -Space Coast Birding AND Wildlife Festival 2012 at United States Feb-17-2012 -The 65th Annual Riverside County Fair...GTM]]> conference]]> exhibit]]> conference directory]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Gtm-On-Recreation-Conferences-/2773589 Tue, 02 Aug 2011 14:52:32 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Gtm-On-Recreation-Conferences-/2773589 Native American]]> Indian]]> pow wow]]> dance]]> music]]> tribal]]> drum]]> drums]]> western]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Cultural-Importance-Of-Native-American-Drums/2701978 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 10:07:32 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Cultural-Importance-Of-Native-American-Drums/2701978 Organising an event requires a lot of planning. Potential mishaps should be as carefully considered as time, place and guests. This past weekend for instance was The Taste of London in Regents Park. It is a three-day event that gives city residents and tourists the opportunity to taste the culinary masterpieces of top restaurants and food retailers around the city. And it gives restaurants and food retailers the opportunity to market themselves. This scale of an event must have taken months to plan. In fact, as it's an annual thing I can only imagine that there is a committee that works on it all year long. It's always in Regent's Park so the location is set, however, they still need permits, marquees and signage for the event to properly run. There was quite a lot of advertising both online and offline in the month leading up to the event, including write-ups in local newspapers and magazines, bus posters, and online banner ads. Restaurants and vendors must be carefully selected, booth reservations made, payments taken, and tickets sold.pow wow]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Planning-For-Event-Mishaps/2679489 Tue, 12 Jul 2011 15:59:24 -0400 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Planning-For-Event-Mishaps/2679489 A gathering of Native Americans to honor their culture through various activities is generally referred to as a Pow Wow.

Adult children who take on the responsibility of providing elder care for their aging parents come to mind - juggling work and your own family in addition to caring for a parent with declining health can be quite an undertaking. Continued support is a key factor to promoting a healthy, efficient relationship between a caregiver and the person they are caring for. People who are emotionally and physically exhausted or guilt-ridden cannot provide good care. You may be taking care of a loved one 24 hours a day or you may be stopping at a nursing home every day after work to visit a relative. If you have multiple responsibilities you may find yourself feeling resentful toward the person to whom you are devoting so much time. According to the Harvard Medical School Family Health Guide, as a caregiver, you should neither expect-nor try-to be on-call 24 hours a day.

The story of the pow wow is a mix of each tribe's separate recollections, and also reflects the turbulent history between the US government and the Native Americans. The Origin of the Pow wow: Pow wows probably arose from the Grass Dance ceremonies of the early 1800s, which were events intended for warriors to show off their bravery. However, they may also have come from the ancient war dances held by the Southern Plains tribes. The modern form of the pow wow probably came about due to the rise of reservations in the late 19th century. As Native Americans of one tribe were forced to live in relatively small spaces with other tribes, inter-tribalism became more common. Pow wows became a way to come together and celebrate Native American heritage at a time when the US government was suppressing many Native American customs. Dance gatherings were one of the few tribal meetings permitted, and the modern pow wow became a place to dance and sing with other tribes.pow wow]]> http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Origins-Of-The-Native-American-Pow-Wow/1888119 Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:39:05 -0500 http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/Origins-Of-The-Native-American-Pow-Wow/1888119 Business has changed dramatically thanks to the Internet.
