Quapaw Elder Ardina Revard Moore (the narrator of the accompanying video documentary, “Quapaw Culture”) lives up to her Quapaw name, "Ma-shru-Ghi-Ta" – “Eagle Feather that Gets Up." Profoundly influenced by her grandfather, Victor Griffin (1873-1958), who was the last chief of the Quapaw Tribe (1929-1956-57), she grew up with him and her grandmother, Minnie Griffin, in a traditional Quapaw household. Her grandfather instilled in her a respect for education, as well as an appreciation for tribal customs and Dhegiha (O-Gah-Pah) Siouan language. The Dhegiha Siouan language family falls into several well-defined subgroups: Omaha, Ponca, Kansa, Osage, and Quapaw. The Omahas and Poncas live in what is now eastern Nebraska and speak virtually the same language. The Kansa (Kaw) tribe is in northeastern Kansas, and their language was mutually intelligible with that of the Osages, whose domain is mostly in southwestern Missouri. All the dialects of the five languages are very much alike. However, the Quapaws were the only Dhegiha speakers in the Lower Mississippi River Valley in the seventeenth century. Her life story is deeply rooted in maintaining strong family ties, connecting tribes that speak Dhegiha Sioux, and promoting education.

The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians has maintained their sense of identity through difficult times. In the latter half of the 20th century, the people continued to gather and celebrate their culture, connections, and traditions with a renewed sense of pride. In the mid-1970’s women in the community organized to renew and pass on the art and skill of black ash basket making. The Black Ash Basket Co-Op helped foster and promote a sense of creativity and pride among tribal members. Black ash baskets, woven by these women, became an easily recognizable symbol of community strength, resiliency, and unity. The Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians had their federal recognition of sovereignty administratively terminated in 1934, and the community fought for restoration of that legal, political, and social status until 1994, when federal recognition was re-established. Black ash baskets and the Basket Co-Op were an essential catalyst in the struggle for restoration of federal recognition.

In 2008, I began a documentary film on powwow cultures of the inland Northwest. I knew a handful of people within the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes (CSKT), and within the Blackfeet Confederacy. They introduced me to those within their tribe whom they thought could be most helpful. Interviewing the people I met became a process of discovery; certain issues emerged in conversation as more charged, more deeply felt. Narrators emphasized the importance of cultural stewardship, describing how they sustained and perpetuated tribal values, language, and practices. Embedded within this discourse were stories of innovation and resilience, as people brought elements of their tribal cultures forward in new forms and venues that spoke to changing community needs. I focused the film on two elements of syncretic innovation-- adoptions and singing at the drum. In both cases, traditional practices were brought forward and reshaped to fit new contingencies, ensuring the continuity of tribal values. In a larger sense, the stories I heard about adoptions and singing at the drum illustrate the flexibility and persistence of Native North American cultures.
