| Description: | "The Dance of the Tribes. The Red Man of America is fast dying out - and seldom nowadays do members of the Sioux and Winnebago tribes mingle for their ancient war dance..." United States of America. Various shots of Sioux, Navajo, Hopi and Winnebago (can't actucally id these tribes, they seem to be mainly Plains tribes, not Hopi or Navajo) tribesmen performing a dance at a camp. There is a large concrete building in the background. Nice CU of faces and men in a drum circle drumming & singing. Men and women in full regalia. This may be a Pow Wow or this might be the Chicago World's Fair, but it's not a 'war dance'. | |
