Tue. 3/27 11a: Right now people are still making their way home from one of the earliest pow wows that helped to kick off the heavier pow wow season. 

From this week forward, more and more pow wows will be on folks’ agendas all the way into early fall. Perhaps the pow wow highway is in your future too. We’re looking ahead and taking a moment to define what pow wow is.

Do you know the story of how it began? What’s the meaning behind the different styles of song and dance? Is there a certain protocol?

Guests include Pow Wow Practitioner Boye Ladd of the Ho Chunk Nation.
