Review:
"These essays, tied together by the powwow theme, create a book whose words dance off the page. Readers should be delighted by their increased understanding of the American Indian powwow at the beginning of the twenty-first century."—Great Plains Quarterly (Clifford E. Trafzer Great Plains Quarterly 2006-12-19)
“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 Quarterly (John W. Troutman Western Historical Quarterly 2007-03-21)
