The Powwow : An Art HistoryTools Martin, Lee-Ann; Boyer, Bob; Goodbird, Edward. The Powwow : An Art History. Regina, Sask.: Mackenzie Art Gallery, 2000.
Abstract (English)Catalogue for an exhibition on the history of Native American painting and the powow ritual (late 1800s – late 1900s), by guest curators Martin and Boyer. Boyer traces the powow’s history through the work and testimony of Hidatsa artist E. Goodbird, the history of hide painting, the Ledger Art movement (books of drawings by Native American political prisoners), the Kiowa Five style of painting and the work of Lakota painter O. Howe. After a brief overview of the development of powow dances, Martin provides an art historical analysis of powow representations since the late 19th century. She also discusses the issue of cultural authenticity (beginning in the 1930s), and places emphasis on the increased popularity of the powow and the vitality of contemporary Aboriginal art.
