Woodland style dancing has made a comeback on the powwow scene. For Great Lakes Anishinaabeg, the Woodland style resembles the regalia worn in the early years and even during the treaty signing time. Floral designs and beadwork are often key indicators of Woodland regalia. Bandolier bags, furs, turbans, and even bonnets are worn for this style. Woven sashes and various bells grace the stylized curves and edges of these colorful, ornate outfits. GLIFWC is proud to share this powerful photograph and the story it encapsulates and continues.
