An Emmy Award nominated film about the journey of The American Indian Dance Theatre, comprised of individuals from thirty Indian nations, to learn the songs and dances of the Makah, Kwakiutl, Penobscot and Iroquois tribes, and its return home to pow wow in North Dakota. Filmed at ceremonials in Alert Bay, British Columbia, at a pow wow in Newtown, North Dakota, on the Penobscot Reservation in Maine, and in performance onstage in Boston. Along with comments from elders of these nations, the company performs dances from the Makah, Kwakiutl, Seneca, Penobscot, and several Plains nations. "Dances For the New Generation" is part of the "First Peoples' TV"series made possible by DreamCatchers, a non-profit organization working to bring Native films to a wider audience.
