1998 Tribal Pow Wow Palm Springs

1998 Tribal Pow Wow Palm Springs
Modern powwows, however, derive from more recent ceremonies that began in the Plains area. The word “powwow” began to appear in newspapers in the early twentieth century, advertising “authentic” Indigenous dance shows. Some performers put on exaggerated “war dances” to entertain pioneers traveling westward. These Wild West shows became a part of popular culture as non-Native spectators became infatuated with the “traditional” Native image.
