4:53Now PlayingWhen the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted public life, some Native Americans found a way to safely host traditional powwows by moving them online.
In many indigenous communities, powwows are celebrations of culture, in which tribes gather to share art, stories, food, song, dance and each other’s company. Arizona PBS' Cronkite News spoke with the founders behind the Facebook group “Social Distance Powwow” on how they created a space for people to celebrate the Native tradition in the era of social distancing.
