The title says that these are current trends, but the activities that many Native American groups get involved in today have been around for hundreds of years; traditions that are written into their lives. The picture above shows a scene from a Powwow, which is a big celebration that includes dancing and singing and feasting. It's is a tradition celebrated in order to bring together tribes and people. Many Powwows are put on throughout the year, all over the U.S. They can last from hours to days, the biggest going on for close to a week or more.
Today there are many different Native American tribes across the United States. Many have kept their traditions and culture going (separate from the American culture; a cultural pluralism) while at the same time many have lost some of their culture because it is hard for them to resist the urge to join the larger culture around them (the modern day Americans). Tribes often live on reservations in order to keep themselves together.
