Reviews
The essays in Powwow reveal the intertribal and local nuances of the complex powwow world from historical, cultural, community, and personal perspectives. . . . Indeed, this glimpse into the powwow complex should spark much attention among scholars to a prominent component of modern Native life--one that, like the persistence of Native communities generally, has thrived on change and innovation as much as continuity and tradition. --John W. Troutman, Western Historical Quarterl y--John W. Troutman Western Historical Quarterly (03/21/2007)
