Tent of Many Voices
Carl Moses and his family demonstrate traditional and contemporary Yakama powwow dances, including grass dance, round bustle, and prairie chicken styles. They explain the origins of these dances, the significance of regalia and crowns earned through competitions, and the time-intensive beadwork and materials used. The presentation covers Yakama cultural traditions, Treaty Days celebrations, and the family's 20+ years of performance throughout the Pacific Northwest.
