The Native American Contest Powwow serves as a powerful platform for introducing the concept of Cultural Tethering Theory, emphasizing its crucial role in celebrating and preserving Native American culture. This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realms of culture, cultural change, acculturation, assimilation, and offers insightful illustrations of how competitive powwows align with and differ from competitive sporting events. Authors Steven Aicinena and Sebahattin Ziyanak take readers on a journey to explore the evolution of the modern intertribal contest powwow and the underlying factors contributing to the erosion of traditional values, the rapid loss of traditional languages, dysfunctional changes in social organization, limited opportunities for the transmission of culturally valued knowledge, and restricted opportunities for youths to observe culturally appropriate behavior within modern Native American cultures.
Furthermore, the authors delve into the complex issue of Native American identity, examining who can legitimately claim this designation under current laws and customs. Additional topics covered include blood quantum, cultural knowledge, cultural participation, the essence of being Indian, and the distinction between being Native American and engaging in pseudo-cultural powwows.
In conclusion, The Native American Contest Powwow offers a profound exploration of the cultural dynamics and challenges faced by Native American communities. Through its introduction of Cultural Tethering Theory and its comprehensive examination of various aspects of Native American culture, this book provides valuable insights into the preservation and revitalization of this rich heritage.
