People who read this book with savor the enchanting rhythm of her words, and learning about Native American traditions. It's a wonderful book for all ages. Thank you, Cynthia, for joining me. A powwow is a Native American social and spiritual event that may include dancing, drumming, singing, eating, and sometimes camping, trading, storytelling, rodeos, or film and art shows. The heart of the event is about celebrating and preserving connections and traditions.
Some powwows are ceremonial and private while others are open to the public.
Powwow are held at various times of the year, although most take place during the summer. Native peoples of many Nations participate these events. Attending a powwow is one way non-Indians can connect with Native cultures. They are family-oriented events. What I most enjoy about attending powwows is the opportunity to renew old friendships and establish new ones.
