Powwow People

Powwow People is an immersive vérité portrait of contemporary Native powwow culture and a vibrant celebration of community and culture captured from inside the circle. This free screening, presented with the Budds Center for American Music Studies, will be preceded by an exhibition of Indigenous instruments from the University of Missouri’s Museum of Anthropology's collections and a performance by Bill Branson, local organizer of For the People Pow Wow. This screening will also be followed by a panel discussion exploring Indigenous culture and music in Missouri today.

Arrive early when doors open at 6PM to explore this satellite exhibition at Ragtag Cinema and learn more about the Museum of Anthropology's commitment to respectful and ethical stewardship of Indigenous cultural heritage.

Official selection of True/False Film Fest 2026.

Please note that FREE tickets for the public will be available at the Ragtag Box Office starting Tuesday, November 17 at 12PM. 

No more than two free tickets will be given to one person.

A free ticket guarantees you a seat until 10 minutes before showtime and not after. If all tickets have been distributed and there are open seats at 10 till, we will start seating the theater from the waiting list (queue). Ticket holders will continue to be admitted at this time if seats are available. This policy allows us to start on time and give the audience a distraction-free experience.
