For years, I have heard from many that they felt that a powwow was only for Native Americans. That is not true. This book is so important in helping to educate people on what a powwow is and what a powwow entails and the carrying on of Indigenous traditions. This book is unique, and it helps to open the doors into welcoming everyone to enjoy this beautiful event of a powwow which full of life, color, and culture. -- Stephen Yellowhawk, President of the Black Hills Powwow Association, For years, I have heard from many that they felt that a powwow was only for Native Americans. That is not true. This book is so important in helping to educate people on what a powwow is and what a powwow entails and the carrying on of Indigenous traditions. This book is unique, and it helps to open the doors into welcoming everyone to enjoy this beautiful event of a powwow which is full of life, color, and culture., For years, I have heard from many that they felt that a powwow was only for Native Americans. That is not true. This book is so important in helping to educate people on what a powwow is and what a powwow entails and the carrying on of Indigenous traditions. This book is unique, and it helps to open the doors into welcoming everyone to enjoy this beautiful event of a powwow which full of life, color, and culture., This book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand the historical significance of sports and recreation as demonstrated in the 21st century powwow. Regalia, elders, gender-roles - the cultural significance of all aspects of a powwow are beautifully described. Readers will gain a deeper understanding for the art and sport of the dance. Living in Oklahoma affords me numerous opportunities to watch native Choctaw dances. I highly recommend this book for anyone seeking a better understanding of tribal cultures., Through case studies of the Gathering of Nations and the Northern Plains Contest Powwow, Aicinena and Ziyanak investigate the emergence of the contest powwow in the second half of the 20th century. Contest powwows promote pan-Indian and intertribal values of extended kinship, hospitality, humor, dance and drumming, and reverence for elders and military veterans. The study finds that these commercialized spectacles are secular events produced for mass audiences featuring fancy dancing competitions that award large cash prizes to winners. Non-Indians and Natives from many different tribes purchase tickets to view and participate in these cultural tourism events, which resemble college basketball games. Traditional powwows persist to commemorate particular tribal communities, constituting what Émile Durkheim termed a "total social fact": annual reunions promoting traditional spirituality, lifeways, and communities' economic well-being. Contest powwows, however, champion individualistic values of winning over harmonious communal relations and cannot undo the erosion of the "cultural tethers" that promote Native solidarity: living in a tribal community, speaking a traditional language, and being enmeshed in a local culture and social organization. This useful study investigates a neglected dimension of pan-Indian identity in the US. Recommended. General readers and lower-division undergraduates.

Super impressed with this seller! They had the best price by far for this book! Both the cost of the book and the shipping fee was far better than average! The book came exactly as described, it was well packaged and quite a bit earlier than expected! The seller was polite and replied quickly to my messages.
I’ll definitely make another purchase soon!
Thank you to the seller! Be safe and keep up the great work!
