My 2008 powwow schedule is now posted, but as always it may be subject to change without notice.

Welcome to PeteFourwinds.com, the online home of Native American Hoop Dancer, photographer, and filmmaker Pete FourWinds (that would be me). Click this image to the left to check out my new hoop dance video, shot at LaSalette Shrine in Attleboro MA, June 2008, by my friend Monique. Video opens in a new window. When you're done, enjoy your stay here!

ABOUT 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 current schedule for updates, powwows I'll be dancing at, and available dates (in case you want to book me). I'm also a an aspiring photographer and miniDV filmmaker, and the 243 Films and My Photography sections have some samples of my work.

I'm also the founder/head dancer of The HawkFeather Dancers, my new American Indian Dance Troupe. You can find information about them in the hoop dance section of my website.

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.
