Native Americans Put Digital Spin on Traditions Amid Virus
This article describes how traditional Native American healing rituals of song, dance, and ceremonial dress, are being applied by Native American communities across the country to address the coronavirus. Healing and prayer traditions like the donning of the Ojibwe ceremonial garb 'zibaaska iganagooday' (the dress of exploding sound), are being utilized in powwows which take place in social-distance friendly, make-shift spaces such as the parking lot of the Bad River Casino in Ashland Wisconsin, where they are recorded on video and shared through social media to community members across the nation.
