Powwow. Edited by Clyde Ellis, Luke Eric Lassiter, and Gary H. Dunham. Lincoln: University of Nebraska Press, 2005. xv + 309 pp. Notes, bibliography, and index. $45.00 (cloth); 19.95 (paper).

This collection consists of an introductory essay and three larger sections grouped by theme. The articles in Part 1 introduce the powwow through history and trace its development into an important symbol of community identity for tribal nations. Those in Part 2 discuss performative aspects of powwows. In Part 3, the authors address "outsider" powwow culture, including gay and lesbian "Two-Spirit" powwows, southeastern events geographically beyond the areas traditionally considered powwow country (the Great Plains and the Great Lakes), and German powwows. Overall, the quality of the contributions is strong, with only one essay needing additional explanatory material to elucidate its argument.
