Powwow Summer
A Family Celebrates the Circle of Life

By: Marcie R. Rendon & Cheryl Walsh Bellville

Every weekend, all summer long, there is a powwow being celebrated someplace, somewhere. The Downwind family of the Anishinabe tribe---Cheryl and Windy with their children, including a number of foster children---love to go on the powwow trail every summer.

In Powwow Summer; author Marcie R. Rendon (who is Anishinabe herself) and photographer Cheryl Walsh Bellville join the Downwind family as they travel to three powwows. Readers will learn how they celebrate the circle of life and the traditions of their people through the ceremonies and dances of the powwow.
