I would like to address Rahul's passage first by saying that the point of the baseball comparison was to show competition between the witches. This explains why the last witch won. Even though each before him had shown a horror that most people could not bare to see, such as dead babies chopped up in a stew! He told a story which everyone else was far more afraid of, and no one could top. This is a way of saying what happened to the Native Americans, in the years to come, is the most horrible thing that one can experience. It shows the atrocity of the white man in an artistic way.
The Powwow also does this, but in a different way. It basically says what Christian has pointed out, with this massive amount of repetition. But I like Christian do not get the full poem. Is it saying, in the end, once all these things have happened that the native's culture and people will be restored, so only then can they forgive those who have wronged them? Or is it something else? It could be saying only after the world ends will the natives find peace.
I believe, in response to your questions, this is written to demonstrate how unlikely being given forgiveness would be. Throughout the poem, the author references consequences of white colonization, such as the dams. These references serve to remind a reader of this passage that the author is fully aware of things resulting from the white man taking over previously native land. This, subsequently, enforces a message of "we will not forgive". In case this message is lost, I believe the last line with the "powwow at the end of the world" is the author stating that until all of these mystical and cultural things happen, things that wouldn't happen until the end of the world, he would not forgive.
