Powwow Day
by Traci Sorell
Age: Preschool-1st grade
Identity: possibly Anishinabe/Ojibwe
Identity, author: Cherokee Nation
Identity, illustrator: Chickasaw Nation
Sport: Dance
An illness keeps River from dancing at their tribal powwow, but finds inspiration and healing from her family and friends as they perform the jingle dress dance. Although the illness is never identified by the author, it allows it to be more relatable as many children have experienced disappointment from sickness themselves.
The supplemental information is extremely interesting, especially the origins of the jingle dress healing ceremony during the 1918 flu epidemic and how jingle dress dancers shared videos online during COVID-19 to help heal people worldwide.
