About the book
Traces the history of Southern Plains powwow culture, discussing how the powwow and its role in contemporary Native American identity have changed throughout the years and how Native Americans have used the dance to define themselves within their communities.
First sentence: On a Saturday evening in August 1996, at a dance arbor near Meeker, Oklahoma, the evening session of an annual community powwow was briefly delayed as a local Sac and Fox family brought its teenaged son into the arena dressed in danced clothes for the first time.
