Abstract

lose its derogative nuance, as the programs improve in quality and authenticity. For years there have been well-established tourist programs like the Gallup, Anadarko, and Rock Island Powwows. These are listed in many publications, including the Folklorist (Manchester, England), 1958, 5 (2 and 3), and in American Indian Tradition. I shall mention a few in the Michigan and Ontario area, which I have attended or investigated in connection with a project for the National Museum of Canada. Some were local affairs, with the help of a few visiting Indians. Some were huge intertribal gatherings, at Wikwemikong, Ontario, and Detroit, Michigan. All of the programs contained traditional dances and songs, from the Woodlands and from Oklahoma, and also compositions on native themes. Some of the creations fell flat; some were excellent.
