Kenny’s ancestry includes Kainah (Blood division of the Blackfeet Confederacy), plus Sioux, two tribes that he jokes “were at war with each other.” His baby name, Asan, means the dark, holy red paint used on faces for ceremonies. Recounts origins of powwow dance in Grass Dance, a warrior society dance transferred across several plains tribes to the Blackfeet. Adopted his grand-nephew whose mother struggled with alcohol, taught him Blackfeet culture, including drum songs and Grass Dance. Tradition of dances honoring warriors morphed into honoring veterans who fought in U.S. forces. His uncle served in Vietnam, saw much that was wrong with US involvement in southeast Asia. Later adopted his grandson and raised him as a son also. Taught him Blackfeet culture and practices, including drum songs and Grass Dance. Tells story of his ancestor, Running Eagle, a woman warrior. She wanted to go on war trail, but men told her women cannot do this. She followed war party out one day, so they let her tend the horses. During battle, she saved the life of another, and became accepted, respected as a warrior. This interview is one of many filmed from 2008 to 2013 for a documentary, We Sing Where I’m From (Dance River Productions, 2016). The documentary explores powwows as commemorative performances that integrate past and present, affirm tribal values, and that express individual, tribal, and intertribal identities.

An athlete, Amorette was “like one of the boys” in middle school, got teased a lot, and it bothered her. In high school, Amorette ran cross-country, joined the boys wrestling team, and the Blackfeet boxing club. She likes the physical/mental challenge of these sports. Boys told her she didn’t belong in wrestling/boxing, tried to push her out but she persisted. Became pregnant while on cross-country team, didn’t know at first, wondered why she was slowing down. She is raising her baby son Landon at home, with her father and mother’s help. Developed confidence, self-respect as result of persisting in wrestling and boxing, less bothered now by kids’ teasing. Also briefly talks about dancing at powwows. This interview is one of many filmed from 2008 to 2013 for a documentary, We Sing Where I’m From (Dance River Productions, 2016). The documentary explores powwows as commemorative performances that integrate past and present, affirm tribal values, and that express individual, tribal, and intertribal identities.

Felicite, the elder, learned Salish songs from her parents and grandparents, and she has passed these songs to her adult daughters, Clara and Violet. They know ceremonial songs as well as social (powwow) songs. They sing with Yamancut, a Salish drum started by Johnny Arlee that specializes in traditional Salish songs “from way back.” Felicite describes going with her parents and grandparents to sing at rodeos and Wild West Shows during the early and mid-twentieth century. Scott and Lane ran a Wild West Show (or rodeo) that they sang with. One time the show went all the way to New York City. Tells stories about their experiences in New York. Speaks in Salish, translated by Clara, about the cultural losses caused by colonial control of Native peoples in the northwest. “They wanted us all to become Suyappes [whites].” Mentions that Salish people responded to federal prohibitions on ceremonies and dances by holding them in secret. To this day, the Salish people continue to hold their traditional mid-winter Jump Dance. “I guess we won,” she says wryly. Clara and Violet say it’s an honor to learn these old songs, and they sing “not to take over,” but to maintain valued cultural practices and meanings. This interview is one of many filmed from 2008 to 2013 for a documentary, We Sing Where I’m From (Dance River Productions, 2016). The documentary explores powwows as commemorative performances that integrate past and present, affirm tribal values, and that express individual, tribal, and intertribal identities.

This cluster offers a documentary video interpreting the History and Culture of the Quapaw people, which was sponsored by the Cultural Quapaw Tribal Committee, of which Elder Ardina Revard Moore is Chairperson. In the video Ardina Moore portrays the history and culture of the Quapaw people, highlighting, for example, how they have celebrated community and harvest during the Fourth of July week by holding Pow Wows. In past times, the Quapaws celebrated the Green Corn Ceremony, still observed by many tribes. The Green Corn Ceremony is held when the corn is growing but before it can be eaten; tribal members partake in rituals to honor the abundance the earth has shared with them. Elder Ardina Moore relates that beginning in the twentieth century Quapaws chose the green corn ripening as a time to reunite with families and kinsmen often traveling far to do so. During the Fourth of July week, more fortunate Quapaws share a portion of their wealth with gifts in the form of agricultural products, clothing, and money. It is also customary for Quapaws to pass on oral histories for future generations. In this video Elder Ardina Revard Moore addresses Dhigiha-speaking peoples by reminding them of their multiple contributions in sustaining their culture, and she urges the audience to pass on their heritage to their offspring.
