Heartbeat of the People: Music and Dance of the Northern Pow-Wow. By Tara Browner. (Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2002. xii + 163 pp. Illustrations, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95.)
Tara Browner seeks to answer the question, "Just what is a pow-wow" (p. 1)? Her focus is on the northern style powwow, specifically the traditions of the Lakota (of the Great Plains) and the Anishnaabeg (of the Great Lakes). Browner seeks to answer this question in seven chapters and an afterword.	1
Chapters 2 through 5 contain Browner's formal narrative and analysis of the powwow. These chapters include discussions of the origins of powwows, male and female dance styles and their accompanying clothing, powwow singing, and powwow schedules and spatial organizations. Chapters 6 and 7 present transcripts of interviews with members of the Rendon family (Lakota) and members of the Martin and Shanaquet families (Anishnaabeg). In the afterword, Browner speculates on the future of the powwow and discusses two other venues for powwow-style singing and dancing, the American Indian Dance Theater and the touring musical Spirit: A Journey of Dance, Drums, and Songs.	. . .
