Native American culture is often consumed by mainstream America for its art, clothing, jewelry and spirituality, but in the last few years non-Natives have been heading to the Pow Wows and many nations have been opening up these events as cultural festivals for the general public. This piece gives us the insider perspective of the Pow Wow replete with sounds to help us experience it ourselves. This piece would fit in any news magazine program especially for station that do not presently do much Native American programming. An audio note: There is a two minute tale of music that would be great to end a magazine show with under final credits.
