Product Description
Product Description
Portraits of Native American master dancers come alive in words and pictures.
Ingram
Five hundred years after Columbus, the old inhabitants of the New World are creating a Native American Renaissance. At the heart of this resurgence are tribal dancers who sustain the community's spiritual and artistic traditions. This book brings to light the modern practitioners of this ancient art form through stunning full-color portraits which capture more than 30 dancers in traditional tribal regalia, plus profiles of selected tribal leaders, craftsmen, and children.

Wondeful photographs and well written text., April 3 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: We Dance Because We Can: People of the Powwow (Hardcover)
For anyone interested in Powwow and the American Indians, this book is a treat! It is loaded with beautiful photos of the dancers and their regalia as well as a wonderfully readable text. Each dancer profiled shares his or her own thoughts on being Indian in America today as well as what Powwow means to them. I found it hard to put down and I learned so much from these wonderful people who were willing to share their experiences.

This review is from: We Dance Because We Can: People of the Powwow (Hardcover)
I have had the pleasure of meeting over half of the people featured in this book. For those wishing to know more about Native American culture and pow wows, one would be hard pressed to find a better book. A beautiful illustration of a magnificent culture.

A Book To Pass To Your Children, Nov 15 2000
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: We Dance Because We Can: People of the Powwow (Hardcover)
Never have I found a more informative book on "the People" as this one. Being Native American myself, and wanting to learn more about my heritage, this book answered questions I've had for years. The pictures are amazingly vibrant. This book makes me proud to be a part of the Native American family.
