"These photographs are a testimony to those individuals who make the powwow magic. They are the human element behind the traditions, the real people who keep it all going. They may be constructions workers, computer operators, students of blackjack dealers during the week. On weekends, however the ageless drum calls again, not to help them relive their cultural past but to celebrate their real existence in the world." Richard W. Hill, Sr. (Tuscarora)
