This note is not for the purpose of me participating the Pow Wow. This is a matter o intellectual curiosity -- so to speak. I understand Pow Wow is to promote commoradeship among us translators who prescribe oneself as ProZ folk. Then, I wonder how many of you know the derivation of this word. Of course founder Henry knows it, I am sure. Has this subject ever discussed in this forum -- namely its derivation? May be.

Yet "meddlesomeness" being my second name, I would like to add a note of some encyclopedic knowledge in nature (whether being asked or not).
Pow Wow (can be spelled as one word), is an Algonquin Indian word means "gathering", be it a family gathering or that of a small community, or a nation as a whole (the Economic Summit by G8 is a Pow Wow too, for that matter). In case you never heard about "Algonquin" Indian, they are the Natives of East Coat of today's USA, and the most famous being Powhatan (Pocahontas people). Thank you for your time. ▲ Collapse

Thanks, Susan. For those who do not know, the word "powwow" is used somewhat generically in the US for a meeting that is both social/informal and productive--a "roll-up-your-sleeves" type of affair.
Before applying this word for our local meetings, I investigated the history of the term, and like Susan, I was intrigued. One thing that struck me is that Pow Wows provide a means for building relationships not only within a tribe, but between tribes.

This was fitting, I think, because in addition to providing an informal way of meeting local people in the same profession, I hope powwows contribute in some way to solidarity among translators worldwide.
Then again, we are just talking about a meal, maybe some drinks. Kigaru ni douzo!
By the way, on my way to a powwow in Montreal, I happened to pass a real "Pow Wow". It was a very colorful affair! ▲ Collapse

Maido!
Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you in Shinjuku, I usually visit Japan in the fall. So I thought I would contribute by translating this intriguing Algonquin word in modern (if outdated Japanese).
So enjoy your nomunikeishon in Tokyo, dear colleagues.

Hi Henry,
How was the meeting like?
I was disappointed that I coundn't attend the meeting as large volume of translation to be done.
Please, do organise Powwow in Tokyo again in near future.
I'm looking forward to meeting other translators!
