  • Drum and Dance Curriculum for Elementary Culture Class 2012-2013
    Drum and Dance Curriculum for Elementary Culture Class 2012-2013 Pow Wows are special events where American Indian people get together and dance. By dancing, people celebrate their culture and their heritage. Many people, American Indians and non-natives, come to watch the dancers, listen to the songs, and meet old friends and make new friends. Everyone, dancers and spectators, are a part of the celebration. (taken from Ni Mi Win : A History of Ojibwe Dance ) Through the following lessons students will learn about every facet of our contemporary Pow Wow and how it connects with our history and culture as American Indian people. The Drum - Lesson #1 The drum symbolizes the heart beat of our people. All drums are honored and respected. We will discuss the different types of drum and their uses. Learner Outcomes: After participating in teacher-led discussions and activities, the students will be able to: 1. Identify the different types of drums and match them to their uses. 2. Discuss the different kinds of songs and their purposes. Tribal Value: Respect Student Activities: CD of different songs and explanation, student drum packets and hands-on materials. The Dancers - Lesson #2 - Traditional Women & Traditional Men The tribal past is strongly reflected in the dance regalia of the present day dancers. Through dance past becomes present and present becomes past. Learner Outcomes: After participating in teacher-led discussions and activities, the student will be able to: 1. Identify and discuss the Women’s Traditional dance, regalia, its history and present day application. 2. Identify and discuss the Men’s Traditional dance, regalia, its history and present day application.

  • Northern Style Powwow Music: Musical Features and Meanings Anna Hoefnagels
    Northern Style Powwow Music: Musical Features and Meanings Anna Hoefnagels Abstract: Modern powwows are important social rituals closely linked to expressing affirmations of Native identities. Based on her fieldwork in southwestern Ontario and Southern Alberta, Anna Hoefnagels explores methods of classifying powwow music that may serve as pedagogical tools, and ways of teaching and understanding Northern- style powwow music._____________________________________________________________________________ Music is the central feature of contemporary powwows, around which other activities—including dancing, socializing, and shopping—revolve. Physically, the musicians and their drums, called drum groups or Drums, are at the centre of the powwow, with a series of concentric circles emanating from the Drums in the form of dance area, audience, vendors and the camping area. The Drums provide the music that accompanies the dancers, which is the central and most spectacular aspect of the powwow. Powwow songs have common features with one another; yet when one listens closely to these songs, one realizes that the songs are quite distinct from one another. There are regional differences in powwow singing, due to the geographical and tribal origins of both the songs and the musicians. However, to the uninitiated, powwow songs may all sound the same. Fortunately, as Tara Browner (2000) indicates, “pow-wow music exists in a Pan-tribal (as opposed to tribal-specific) context, [so] the vocabulary its musicians use when talking about song making and performance is almost entirely in English...” (p. 215). Despite potential political conflicts regarding language and terminology, this shared vocabulary makes conversations with musicians about their music much easier than they would be if there were different or specific descriptive vocabulary.

Terrance will engage students through storytelling, demonstrations, and student practice. Students will learn about the evolution of Grass Dancing from historical to contemporary, and gain skill and knowledge in basic traditional and contemporary Grass Dance steps and movements. Both girls and boys will be encouraged to personalize their movements as every Pow Wow Dancer does. The main objectives are to learn timing and rhythm, how to move with the beat of the drum, and how to showcase space and symmetry with the body. Students with previous experience in Aboriginal Dance may choose to focus on their style of choice, such as jingle dress style or fancy dance style. Terrance's Hoop Dancing will also be showcased with a performance! As a dancer from Saskatchewan, Terrance will share how his dances are specific to the First Nations people of our province. This program is suited not only for Arts Education but Physical Education as well. Please see page 2 for a Pre-Broadcast Activity, and pages 6-18 for a selection of Teacher Guided Post-Broadcast Activities. These activities will give students the opportunity to apply what they have learned during the broadcast and to further their learning.

  • The Native American Contest Powwow As an Implicit Religion
    IOSR Journal of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 9, Series 2 (September. 2020) 16-35 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org The Native American Contest Powwow as an Implicit Religion Steven Aicinena1 and Sebahattin Ziyanak2 1 Professor: Kinesiology University of Texas Permian Basin, Odessa, Texas 2 Associate Professor, Sociology University of Texas Permian Basin, Odessa, Texas ABSTRACT Religion serves a variety of functions in societies. Secular items and goals serve equivalent social functions in the form of implicit religion. The role of implicit religion in Native American cultures has yet to be explored. This paper examines Durkheim‟s views on religion and Bailey‟s views concerning implicit religion as they relate to the Native American contest powwow. We employ Sage, Eitzen, and Beal‟s eleven shared characteristics of religion and sport to determine existing connections between religion and the contest powwow. The purpose of this study is to determine if the intertribal contest powwow can be classified as an implicit religion. In this qualitative research, we collect data through participant observation and in-depth semi- structured interviews pertaining to participants‟ experiences and viewpoints concerning the contest powwow. We analyze the data by employing step-by-step coding processes. Our findings yield sixteen themes and fourteen subthemes. This study unequivocally demonstrates that the contest powwow functions in Native American powwow communities as an implicit religion. KEYWORDS: Christianity, Contest Powwow, Emile Durkheim, Gathering of Nations Powwow, Implicit Religion, Native American Religion, Sport as an Implicit Religion ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Date of Submission: 25-08-2020 Date of Acceptance: 09-09-2020 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------- I.

Although the discipline of folklore is well- versed in ostension, folk dance has not been examined through this lens. I argue that dance is a form of ostension, of demonstrating a narrative, and this is especially apparent within Native American hoop dancing.

  • Powwow Songs: Music of the Plains Indians New World 80343-2 This Album Offers Ceremonial and Social Music of Indians from the Gr
    Powwow Songs: Music of the Plains Indians New World 80343-2 This album offers ceremonial and social music of Indians from the Great Plains. Although the styles of singing and drumming vary greatly in different regions and among different tribes, the forms of the music are similar, enabling musicians from many tribes to perform together. Most of the music here is intertribal singing of what are now the Southern Plains Indians, primarily from Oklahoma; Tracks 5-9 add the intertribal music of the Northern Plains Indians. The setting for the music is the powwow, a general gathering, usually several days in length, that includes feasting, giveaways, arts-and-crafts sales, raffles, and the honoring of special guests and of veterans. The powwow itself has been transplanted to the cities, where an estimated half of the nation's Indians now live. Each powwow club, composed of Indian community members, takes the year-long responsibility of planning and raising money for this annual event. The need for prize money, gas money, and food for singers and dancers; fees for a master of ceremonies; and rental of public-address systems demands a complex volunteer organization. Tracks 1-4 and 9-11 were recorded live at the sixth annual Kihekah Steh Powwow, Skiatook, Oklahoma, in August 1975. Tracks 5-8 were recorded by the Los Angeles Northern Singers in October 1975 at an informal performance. Songs from the Southern Plains The singers: Adam Pratt, leader Jack Anquoe, Henry Collins, Bill Grass, James “Chick” Kimble, Lionel Le Clair, Ed Little Cook, Oliver Little Cook, Morris Lookout, Joe Rush, E.R.
