- Synopsis
- The powwow is a time-honored Native American custom. It is a celebration of life and spirituality, a remembrance of traditions, uniting a people through dance and ritual. Long Powwow Nights takes you on a wonderful journey, honoring those who keep the traditions alive through dance and song. In poetic verse, award-winning and best-selling Métis author David Bouchard, along with Pam Aleekuk, beautifully narrate the story of a mother's dedication to her roots and her efforts to impress upon her child the importance of culture and identity. Internationally revered Mi'kmaQ artist Leonard Paul brings the story alive with his beautiful renditions of powwow dancers, warriors, and stunning landscapes. The book is accompanied by a CD, which includes music by internationally acclaimed singer and songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie. Long Powwow Nights combines the passion and beauty of Native culture through words, paintings, and song that can be cherished by children and adults alike.
