Welcome to the online home of Native American hoop dancer Pete FourWinds
and The HawkFeather Dancers.

My 2010 performance schedule (complete as of 2/4/10) is now available. Check back for additions and changes as the season progresses.
Welcome to PeteFourwinds.com, the online home of Native American Hoop Dancer and photographer Pete FourWinds (that would be me). My site is currently undergoing a transfer from one hosting service to another, so please bear with me as pages and sections are added.
Who I am and what I'm all about: Who am I? First and foremost, of course, I am a hoop dancer and lecturer on the subject of contemporary Native American dances and customs. By contemporary I mean dances and customs you'd likely encounter at today's powwows and other Native gatherings, as opposed to dances from historical times (although many of today's styles have very clear historical basis). Check my calendar for updates, powwows I'll be dancing at, and available dates (in case you want to book me). I'm also an aspiring photographer, and the "My Photography" section has a sample of my work and a link to my full gallery, hosted at Pbase.

In addition to performing the hoop dance as a solo artist, I'm the founder/head dancer of The HawkFeather Dancers, my new American Indian Dance Troupe. The HawkFeather Dancers are basically a multi-dancer expansion of my work as a dancer/lecturer. You can find information about them at www.hawkfeatherdancers.org.
Feel free to wander around at your leisure, and thank you for stopping by. Chances are that you're here for hoop dance info, since that's what I'm most known for, so I hope to see you around the powwow trail.
