"When we speak of contemporary Aboriginal dance, there are no other published books of this genre that I'm aware of. This makes Chinook Winds a significant contribution."
- Paul Seesequasis, (as quoted in Prairie Books NOW)

During Chinook Winds, choreographer Alejandro Ronceria and a company of twelve dancers and seven instructors from diverse Aboriginal communities explored contemporary dance rooted in principles of traditional Aboriginal culture. Chinook Winds combines articles, photographs, poetry, personal memoir and interviews to document the stunning results.

The first dance piece of the Aboriginal Dance Program was produced by the Aboriginal Arts Program, a unique cultural partnership between the Aboriginal Film and Video Art Alliance and The Banff Centre.
