David Paul White of Sarnia, Ontario, a member of the Ojibwe Nation, competes in the teen men's fancy dance contest at the 35th annual Ann Arbor Dance for Mother Earth Pow Wow at Crisler Arena. Organizers of the Mar. 31-Apr. 1 event reported an increase in dance contestants this year, and added that vendors were pleased with the volume of business. The annual gathering of Native and non-Native people has become a nationally recognized part of the pow wow season, which runs from spring through autumn across the country.
