DVD POW WOW TRAIL
EPISODE 4
The Grand Entry
One of the most recognizable elements of Native expression is the Pow-wow. But very few people outside the culture understand it. They do not understand the significance of the songs and the dances behind Pow-wow; they do not understand the rites and ceremonies contained within a pow-wow. They do not understand the meaning of the clans, or why Indian people dance. The Pow Wow Trail series will explore the true meaning, beyond the feathers and beads. Culture lives within the people; it is expressed through those who practice and participate in these celebrations.
Covering the history and importance of powwow grand entry, this program explains the line up of dancers and why. Also includes excellent footage of the different dance styles. Also included is explanations of the importance of the eagle of American Indian culture and what needs to be done when an eagle feather is dropped in the dance circle.
