A collection of intersecting stories set at a powwow that bursts with hope, joy, resilience, the strength of community, and Native pride. In a high school gym full of color and song, Native families from Nations within the borders of the US and Canada dance, sell beadwork and books, and celebrate friendship and heritage. They are the heroes of their own stories.
