Wisconsin Powwow / Naamikaaged: Dancer for the People

This two-video set shows how powwows incorporate historical traditions and modern innovations. The first video is a general treatment of the powwow as it is held by Ojibwe people in northern Wisconsin. The second follows a young Ojibwe, Richard LaFernier, as he dresses and paints himself for a powwow, honors his ancestors, and sings at powwows in northern Wisconsin.
