The Native American Contest Powwow introduces Cultural Tethering
Theory to understand the importance of the contest powwow and what
it means to participants, carrying on the beauty of Native American
culture. The book addresses the concepts of culture, cultural
change, acculturation, assimilation, and how this competitive
dancing ritual aligns with and differs from traditional sports.
Authors Steven Aicinena and Sebahattin Ziyanak go on to explain why
modern Native American cultures are experiencing an erosion of
traditional values, a rapid loss of traditional languages, changes
in social organization, limited opportunity to learn
culturally-valued knowledge, reduced opportunity to observe
culturally appropriate behavior, and the influence of technology.
The book also examines Native American identity and who can
legitimately claim to be a Native American under current laws and
customs. Additional topics addressed include blood quantum,
cultural knowledge, participation, being Indian, and playing
Indian. Finally, the authors describe the difference between being
Native American and playing Indian in powwow and pseudo-cultural
powwow environments.
