Summary:
The 1st work is a general overview of the powwow as held by the Ojibwe people in northern Wisconsin, including interviews and explanations of the customs, dress, dances, and drum. The 2nd work follows a young Ojibwe, Richard LaFernier, during two powwows, as he sets up his tent, honors his ancestors, dresses and paints himself, dances, and sings, demonstrating how he is rooted in a long historical tradition and part of a large family network, but is also part of the 1990s.
