  • The Powwow Dance and My Dance with Powwows
    The Powwow Dance and My Dance with Powwows By Xiao Zheng A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Department of Anthropology University of Alberta © Xiao Zheng, 2019 Abstract This research examines powwow culture on Treaty Six Territory. On the one hand, powwow culture is traditional with historical roots in warrior societies and in Indigenous forms of dance, also informed by Wild West shows and the world wars. On the other hand, powwow dances as modern performances also express the dynamism of modern Indigenous cultures. As a Chinese student in anthropology, I have reflected in this thesis on my position as a non-Indigenous researcher, and on the relationship between anthropology and Indigenous cultures. Therefore, another concentration of this research revolves around my own fieldwork story and personal perspective on the relationship between Indigenous cultures and anthropology. ii Preface This thesis is an original work by Xiao Zheng. The research project, of which this thesis is a part, received research ethics approval from the University of Alberta Research Ethics Board, Project Name “Cultural Resilience: Powwow Culture in Alberta”, No. Pro00071665, May 29, 2017. iii Table of Contents Introduction ....................................................................................................................... 1 IT IS BEAUTIFUL: SOURCES OF MY RESEARCH INTEREST. .................................................. 1 IT IS CONFUSING: ANTHROPOLOGICAL METHODOLOGY AND INDIGENOUS
