Summary:
As Pow-wow has evolved, so too has the entertainment on the grandest scale. Schemitzun, Connecticut attracts the largest crowds, and the best dancers. We travel to the land of the Pequots, a tribe attempting to recapture its heritage through dollars generated through their casino. They pull out all the stops to run a multi-million dollar Pow-wow. As it was told in the origianl legend of the Big Drum, the Pow-wow was a spectacle for all to see an behold: the Pequots certainly bring out the brightest and most intricate outfits, as well as the best dancers.
