Golden State Gourd Society
"The Golden State Gourd Society was started in Maywood, Ca. in 1971. The purpose of this organization is to carry on the traditions of the Kiowa Gourd Clan, which has been revived to carry on it's music and dancing. This dance originated with the Kiowa Tribe and has been handed down from one generation to the next.
This Society has turned 33 years old since it's inception and although many of the original charter members have left us, the legacy they left behind continues on through their children and grandchildren. As members of this Society, we truly cherish and respect the traditions and rich history of the Gourd Dance that has been handed down by our forefathers."
