Each tribe has different celebrations, said Ron Belgard, a member of the Siletz Tribe and the Cree Nation attending his first LCC
powwow. He's been "powwowing" all his life - 33 years - and said he's seen dancers of all ages at
powwows, from 1 to 90.
With one foot forward, these bold dancers are the forbearers of a revolution in
powwow dancing, balancing tradition and innovation in an ever-changing world.
"It's rewarding to see second- and third-generation Indians enjoy the in-house
powwows, the elders' luncheon and monthly bingos" and other community events, she said.

Brotnov, 33, a 2010 Clark University graduate, traveled to Washington and Idaho to research and photograph the Nez Perce tribe during its annual Lookingglass Days
Powwow. He took about 2,500 photos, many of which are part of a book he developed called "Resistance Through Identity in Nimi'ipuu Country." Seventeen of the photos are displayed through next spring at the Cohen-Lasry House at Clark University.

Powwows, the focus of the current study, are not indigenous to southwestern Ontario, yet they are now firmly established celebrations in most Native communities in this region; in many ways
powwows could be considered an "invented tradition." Indeed, when examining
powwow practices, meanings and teachings, it is important to recognize that although many similarities exist between
powwows throughout North America, it is necessary that "they be understood in local contexts and as products of local histories" (Fowler 2005: 68).
