Female powwow emcees make voices heard in mostly male field

Deanna Rae StandingCloud has jokes.
She also has the voice, and the skill. Now, she just needs more opportunities to show it.
StandingCloud, Red Lake Nation, from Minneapolis, is one of the few female powwow emcees in a typically male-dominated field. Now that in-person powwows and other social gatherings are coming back after a monthslong pandemic hiatus, StandingCloud is ready for her voice to be heard.
StandingCloud and others like Kwe Blomgren want powwow decision makers to know they are available to emcee, Indian Country Today reported.
“We have to start having women in these roles, so in our minds, we think, that definitely can be a woman, and it can be,” StandingCloud said. “Women are pretty funny, and some of the funniest people I met are female, so why the heck not?”
