In this presentation, students will learn about and participate in traditional and contemporary Kiowa and Caddo traditional dances and various styles of Intertribal Powwow Dances. Students will learn the history and origin of each style of dance, view regalia art, and see dances performed by a Powwow dancer. They will also learn proper Powwow etiquette and appropriate songs for each style of dance. By the end of this assembly, students will have participated in dances and gained an appreciation for the rhythm and music of several Native American tribes. For a full Powwow program, students can learn each of the contemporary Powwow dances with accompanying music then culminate with a student-led mini Powwow with live rhythm and vocals performed by a Native drummer!
