Powwow: A Celebration Through Song and Dance | 
I love when libraries have their little lists on Libby - this little gem is from Queens Public Library‘s Native American Heritage list. I may have downloaded like 10 books. Gonna read them while listening to football games.

pickKaren Pheasant-Neganigwane (Anishinaabe), has been dancing at powwows since the 1970s. Numerous photos of her (see above) & her family members in dance regalia are included. What is most remarkable about this book aimed at middle school readers is how informative it is. Effects of colonization, sacred & contemporary approaches to dance & drumming, etiquette for visitors & many other cultural aspects are covered. Glossary too. #Indigenous
While the content of this book goes far beyond the aesthetics of powwow culture, there‘s no denying the visual appeal of dance regalia.
