Breaking news: I'm moving to Maryland for a new job! What does this mean for my hoop dancing? I'll still occasionally be performing in New England when I come home on vacation, but my unfortunately regular New England powwow schedule no longer exists. I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the powwow community down in MD and PA. Thank you to all my New England family, friends, and fans for 18 amazing years, and yes, I will be back! I love you all, and WATCH OUT MID-ATLANTIC!!!
Welcome to PeteFourwinds.com, the online home of Native American Hoop Dancer and photographer Pete FourWinds (that would be me).
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.
