POW WOW

White Earth Nation 2024

 ©Kelli Gowder



When Europeans first made contact with the Chippewa - Ojibwa they had dances for many things.  The  Midewiwin dance was one the most important to the South Eastern and South Western Chippewa as well as the Saulteaux.  It was preformed in late spring and again in the early fall. However, later, the mid June Sun dance became more important for the Saulteaux. Other dances were the Grass, Dream, Pipe, Ghost, Scalp, Skull, & Snake. The Sun and Ghost dance are generally associated with the tribes of the plains. The Saulteaux adopted both.

Today Pow Wows fall into two categories:Traditional or Competitive. The "Traditional" tends to be smaller and a localized event. While the "Competitive" tends to be larger with judging, prizes, and dance categories.

In 1883 Congress banned all Native dances and ceremonies, including the Sun and Ghost Dance. Anti-dancing directives continued to be issued into the 1920s.  In 1933  John Collier was appointed Commissioner of Indian Affairs.  He removed the ban on native  dance. The ban was never successful.  The Native Americans never gave up their culture some did it in secret, others were discrete, while others did it in public and were paided to preform.  The Jingle dress was born during the ban for the purpose of healing.  It's existence is a symbol of the resilence of the nation.


In 1911 Treaties 4 & 6 Tribes in Canada  argued that the right to traditional dances, music, and festivals was preserved and protected in their treaties.  After hearing their arguements, the government decided to clarify Section 114 of the Indian Act, allowing tribes in those treaties to have Pow wows.  However, the 1914 Indian Act still maintained restrictions in other regions Canada.

Saulteaux First Nation Indian Relay Race 2018

Indian Relay, as racers call it, is the extreme horse racing sport that has been taking place in the United States for decades, and only recently started spreading north of the border after being introduced at the North American Indigenous Games and the Calgary Stampede in 2017. A rider needs to change mounts three times in race at full gallop. The rider pictured is Cree and national champion. The Saulteaux First Nation in Saskatchewan is represented by the Poitras Relay team. The team is featured in the documentary series "Horse Warriors" and is available for streaming on APTN lumi. O'Chiese First Nation has hosted races. Cote First Nation fielded a team in 2025. Turtle Mountain has hosted races on their Chippewa Downs five years running. The Bois Forte band had a team in 2018, named the Brown Bois.


A team has four people: 

  • A rider, who races each horse bareback.
  • A mugger, who catches the incoming horse after each lap.
  • Two holders, who hold the new horses for the exchanges.

THE JINGLE DRESS or ZHIIBAASHKA'IGAN: in the upper picture

Two tribes have versions of how the jingle dress came to be, the Mille Lacs Chippewa and the Whitefish Bay Ojibwa. The history is linked to the 1918 Spanish Influenza pandemic that was fatal for many. The Mille Lacs origin of the jinggle dress comes from a vision of a Midewinini or Medicine man. He had a daughter who was ill and not responding to his treatment. In his vison he saw four women wearing diffferent colored jingle dresses. He received instructions on how to make the jinggles for a dress for his daughter to wear to be cured. When the vison passed he told his wife and together they created a dress. He fashioned the jingles and she attached them to the dress. When done, it was put on the girl. She was too weak to walk so men carried her for the jingles to make their sounds and she recovered to the point that she could walk and make the jingles jingle herself. Word of this cure spread and was even adopted by tribes outside the Ojibwa Nation.   The oral history at Whitefish Bay is very simular to Mille Lacs. An 8 year old named Maggie White became ill. Her Midewinini grandfather Pinasse, had dreams that told him how to make a jingle dress, which he did. When the ill girl put it on she was cured. It is claimed that the White Earth band shared the jingle dress with the Lakota to the west of them in the 1920s. The Glenbow Museum in Alberta displays a fine example of a jingle dress from the Day Star First Nation, Cree,ca.1950. In the 1980s the AIM movement led to the jingle dress to gaining national indegenious exposure and was adopted as an expression of indigenious spituallity, idenity, and protest. Around that time it was hugely embraced by the Navajo Nation. The jingle dress quickly evolved to become culturally significant apparal for the Ojibwa people and other peoples. Today, the Jingle dress dance is seen in both competition and traditional powwows across North America. The Red Lake jingle dress origin story in not available to share.

Pierre Bottineau

 Pierre Bottineau was the son of a Saulteaux mother, Margaret Ah-dik-Songab (Clear Sky), and, Charles Joseph Bottineau, a French-Canadian fur harvesting father. His mother was the sister of Chief Red Bear of the Pembina band. He was raised near St. Boniface, now Winnipeg, Manitoba.  He was famous and respected as a scout, guide, and translator. He is reported to have been able to speak: French, Ojibbway, Dakota, Assiniboine, Plains Cree, Mandan, Winnebago and English.  He was reported to have been born in 1817 on the Red River of the North at Bear Point, near the mouth of the Turtle River. One of his sons served in Co. F 5th Minnesota during the Civil War. During 1863-4 Pierre served as a guide and a scout for General Sibley against the Sioux. Minnesota Govenor Ramsey, Oregon Governor Steven, and the Northern Pacific RR all engaged his service. He acted as the translator for the Pembina band at their 1863 Treaty. There is no record that he was ever engaged by the Crown.  His first travels were to carry messages for the American Fur Co. from Selkirk to Prairie du Chien in 1830. A mere 690 mile trek as a teenager. After that he delivered messages for the HBC. He was married twice and fathered over 20 children. In 1863 he translated for the 1863 Red Lake Pembina treaty.  In 1876 he led 70 French and Saulteaux Metis familys to found the town of Red Lake Falls, Minnesota. Other towns he founded were Osseo, Maple Grove, Breckenridge, Minnesota and Wahpeton, North Dakota  He later was labeled the "Kit Carson of the Northwest". Some called him the "Walking Peace Pipe". It's sticking out of his pocket in the image. In 1879 the U.S. granted him a pension for his service. His son, Jean Baptiste, practiced law and was the Turtle Mountain Chippewa legal council for 20 years in claims against the government. In his obiturary his daughter wrote:  He was a strong and consistent advocate of a liberal education for the Indian of today,—industrial, technical, professional, and moral. He strongly approved and supported the policy of the U. S. Indian Office in maintaining such schools for the education of the Indian as that at Carlisle, Pennsylvania.Contributed by Mrs. Marie L. Baldwin (née Bottineau) in memory of her father". She became the first female lawyer in the UnitedStates. Jean Baptiste provided legal assistance to at least one student from Turtle Mountain to gain admittance to Carlisle.
