But the strangest thing of all was the old powwow-dance regalia I saw hanging in the window…“That’s my grandmother’s regalia,” I said to Rose of Sharon and Junior….But it sure looked like my memory of it, and it had all the same color feathers and beads that my family sewed into our powwow regalia.
After first being expose to this word, I was not too sure what the narrator was talking about. However, I have figure it was a special item or cloth material after I kept on reading when the narrator said it belong to his grandmother. As known, it is a special type of gown, that can be decorated with beads, feather and embellishments for whom represents royalty.
