A Native American mother braids the hair of one of her daughters who will dance at the two-day Ko’asek Abenaki Powwow. A powwow is a gathering which allows Indigenous people to socialize, dance, sing, and honor their culture. The family camps on the Powwow ground. During the braiding session, mother and daughter watch cartoons on a tablet. A younger sister in watches on her own.
