How do singing and dancing provide an opportunity to bring communities together?
Contemporary powwows bring together Native Americans from many different Nations, providing opportunities to gather and celebrate. Learn how Dylan Jennings, a member of the Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa, dances the Men’s Traditional dance, which for him, mimics hunting movements.
This resource is part of The Ways, a collection of educational media resources from PBS Wisconsin Education for middle and high school classrooms.
